-Some Little Archie and Friends stories are included in this Digest.
Archie Award of Excellence Story!-(The Crooked Comic Con Caper!) Part 3 of 3 -Written by Alex Simmons and amazing art by Fernando Ruiz.
-I will admit to not liking Parts 1 and 2 of The Crooked Comic Con Caper. I feel the previous parts found in Archie's Funhouse #5 and #6 lacked focus in the story being told and was essentially wasted Digest space. The only thing I really enjoyed from parts 1 and 2 was the great art by Fernando Ruiz. Fernando Ruiz is in my elite group of great Archie artists.
-This story is a 22 page story and along with two parters are some of my favorite types of stories but only if they are written well and have great art as this story has both.
-Part 3 redeems itself with a great art by Fernando Ruiz and overall great story from Alex Simmons.
-In this story Archie and the Gang must decide whether they should sell each other out for fame and fortune or whether they should stand together as a team. Find out what happens and read this Digest.
Archie Honorable Mention Story:(Dilton in Marshall Dilton), written by George Gladir and art by Dan Decarlo Jr.
-What happens when you have a beach, Dilton with too much power as Captain of the beach Patrol and Moose who helps Dilton carry out his orders?
-What then happens when that power is gone and Moose must quit helping Dilton because Moose comes up against someone even he can't fight against.
-You have a very interesting and funny story about what happens when you are given too much power and you end up being someone very different.
-Watch and read the very funny ending in this Digest.
Archie Honorable Mention Story:(Archie in Mermaid Service) with great art and great story by Bill Golliher
-Bill Golliher is another one on my elite list of great Archie artists and he also wrote this story that has genuine heart.
-It is a small and funny story in which Archie meets someone under the sea but did he really meet someone or was it all in his memory?
-I love these type of stories of mysterious relams that we have not fully explored, of unique characters that we find in our vast uncharted world.
-This is one of those stories that you just want to read more of because of unique realms, mysterious characters and did it really happen type of scenarios.
Overall Digest Rating-Good: 3 out of 5 Stars
