1. That’s one Swamp Thing (kind-of) appearance that I won’t be buying.
   Ah,who am I kidding.I’m sick.I need help!
   Thanx for the heads-up,Mike.

2. This is a bit off from the usual Archie model. Was this drawn by Joe Staton?

3. Dave- looks like his work to me.

4. The credits for that story say Stan Goldberg.

   Could he have had a studio guy ghosting for him?

5. I dunno, it looks like Stan G.’s style to me. I think it might be inker Ken Selig’s touch that is throwing people off. I remember Stan doing some issues of Captain Carrot in the 1980s and this more or less matches up.

6. …I feel like I should clarify I’m not criticizing Ken Selig’s work, but pointing out it may not be what people are expecting from the Archie “house style.”

7. The digest itself credits Stan Goldberg and Ken Selig for the artwork.

   And the minute I saw it I knew I had to let Mike Sterling know that in the Archie Universe another Swamp Thing movie was on the way.

8. Despite Veronica buying him buckets and buckets of popcorn, Jughead is still depressed.

9. “Cover everything”?

   Is that what the kids are calling it now?

10. Archie’s face looks TERRIBLE.

    too many fights with Reggie, I suppose.

11. Nice! We should make a sock puppet version of the movie mike! we will be famous! all over youtube even! $$$$$

12. Goldberg’s people have been getting increasingly amorphous over the last decade (though he’s been a working cartoonist for OVER SIXTY YEARS, and Selig’s been at it nearly as long, so a slight erosion of skills is perhaps unavoidable), and Archie digest originals are pretty small (if the Samm Schwartz gag page I own is typical), so that’s going to aggravate the situation. Is that Bob Lappan lettering?
