Baby hippo mania hits Riverdale in WORLD OF ARCHIE DIGEST #149!

Panel from an Archie Comics story. Jinx Holliday, a slender blonde white teenage girl with pigtails, is wearing a safari suit and tending to a baby hippo outside the Riverdale zoo. Betty and Veronica walk up to her, saying hello.

Li’l Jinx grows up and joins the cast for the first time — and she’s bringing a celebrity baby hippo along for the ride — in this week’s WORLD OF ARCHIE DIGEST #149!

Cover of WORLD OF ARCHIE DIGEST #149. Veronica is at a burger drive-through while Archie, working at the window, hands her a tray of burgers she's ordered. Jughead swoops by on his skateboard to steal them.Longtime Archie fans all know Li’l Jinx, of course, but you haven’t seen her quite like this! Now she’s a teen and hanging out with B&V at the zoo, and her debut story is a pretty big deal, as she’s taking care of Lulu, an Insta-famous hippo. When a far-away zoo lays claim to Lulu, it looks like she might not be long for Riverdale; maybe a scheme is in order! Dan Parent tells the historic tale we had to call “Animal Instinct!”

Then, Cosmo the Mighty Martian crash-lands in Riverdale for the first time on a mission to find some lost friends in “Gimme Some Space!” by Bill Golliher.

It’s an issue packed with firsts, and you can preview those below along with the complete classic “Bowl Me Over!” by Dan Parent once again. That’s just a taste, so you’ll want to get your own copy here, and have a comics-filled weekend!
