Well that league of do-gooders is getting its own Milestones Digest in May — led by Captain Hero himself, Jughead.
Not just that, World of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #150 is upon us!

Sign me up! I loved Captain Hero and his cohorts and read the digest reprints in the 70s! Oh, and Mad Dr. Doom appeared at the same time as that similarly-named fella at Marvel in 1962. (Don’t know if he went to school with Reed Richards too!)

I wish they would rename ARCHIE MILESTONES JUMBO COMICS DIGEST to JUGHEAD JUMBO COMICS DIGEST. ARCHIE MILESTONES was a good title for when they were doing books focusing on past decades, but it’s been a Jughead title for many issues now.
