PEP

Includes the story "Archie in Successful Failure!". Smithers hurls Reggie off the Lodge front porch, leaving Archie as the last man standing - and seconds later, a love-struck Veronica throws open the door and declares herself his exclusively, going steady on the spot. It sounds like a dream come true, but Veronica's intensity is already showing - no other boys for her, no other girls for him, period. Will finally winning Veronica turn out to be everything Archie hoped for, or has he just traded one problem for a much bigger one? Other stories in this issue include "Betty and Veronica In Zanny Mania", "Josie in Hard Head", "Li'l Jinx in Pic-Nix", 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.
