engaging in their usual antics, but with a dash of supernatural elements. The first issue is notable for establishing the premise behind both it and the show, showcasing the lab incident that turned Riverdale into a monster haven, and the origin of Archie's Weird Mystery column. Certain characters who did not make an appearance in the show appear here, such as Mr. Svenson and Cheryl Blossom. A few of the stories even have direct ties to episodes of the show. Starting with Issue #25, the series was renamed Archie's Mysteries, severing its ties to the cartoon. In addition to switching its focus to more grounded mysteries, it also depicted the Archie gang as a detective group called the "Teen Scene Investigators" alongside Chuck Clayton, complete with an origin story. The rebranded series was ultimately canceled after nine more issues. References External links Cover Images of Archie as Captain Pureheart Comic Book Issues Archie Comics Archie Comics Archie Comics
