PEP

Includes the story "Archie in Speed Demon". During a rainstorm, Archie saves a mysterious gnome-like sprite from a falling tree branch - and the grateful creature rewards him on the spot with a burst of magical energy, declaring him the fastest human in the world before vanishing with a POP. Archie is left standing alone on the sidewalk, buzzing with a power he never asked for and has no idea how to control. Will this strange gift turn Archie into Riverdale's greatest hero - or its biggest menace? Other stories in this issue include "Archie in "X" Marks the Spot", "Li'l Jinx in Do It Yourself", "Betty and Veronica in Let's Face It", and more. Originally running from 1940 all the way into the '80s, PEP was the platform for Archie's first appearance in 1941 and introduced many of the Riverdale citizens that the world still follows over 80 years later.
