Jughead Comics: A Night At Geppi's Entertainment Museum: Free Comic Book Day Edition #1

From the random stack of unread comics, by way of Free Comic Book Day 2008.

Title: Jughead Comics: A Night At Geppi's Entertainment Museum: Free Comic Book Day Edition
Issue: 1
Date: 2008
Publisher: Archie Comics
Writer: Craig Boldman
Penciler: Stan Goldberg
Inker: Bob Smith, Rich Koslowski
Letterer: Jack Morelli
Colorist: Barry Grossman
Editor: Victor Gorelick

Published in conjunction with Geppi's Entertainment Museum in Baltimore MD.

Archie and Jughead get jobs as museum guards at Geppi's Entertainment Museum in Baltimore, but Jughead is more interested in chowing down on chocolate than in guarding the museum's pop culture treasures. And when an evil genius who's been quietly stealing those treasures replaces Jughead with a robot, there is some serious doubt as to whether anyone will even notice.

Fortunately, the Archie Gang get to do their own Scooby Gang impression and save the day.

This was a nice promo for the museum, which I wasn't familiar with, but am now interested in checking out if I get to Baltimore this summer.

The story was basic harmless Archie fun that veered a bit more into comedic science fiction than the typical Riverdale story.

Rating: 6.5/10
