Pep Comics #42

In "Diamonds of Death," Archie finds himself unexpectedly thrust into a high-stakes horse race after a mix-up at the Lodge estate, all while navigating a rivalry with Reggie and a surprise visit from Jughead. Written by Harry Sahle and illustrated by Sahle with inks by Ginger, this 1943 adventure blends humor and suspense as Archie’s morning ride with Jughead sets off a chain of events neither could have predicted. The cover, by Bob Montana, captures the tension with a classic, dynamic scene from the story.
