Riverdale Book Review

World of Archie Comics Digest #43 (Nov. 2014). With all the hubbub about the gory Afterlife With Archie and the forthcoming, apparently equally “mature” Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, few are noticing that the standard-issue Archie Digests haven’t been pushing any boundaries of sex, violence or bad taste at all. The new story in this issue—a few years ago, the Archie digest format went from all-reprints to having a brand-new story or two as well—is as tame and old-school as comics get. Talking animals!
