Camp Pickens (One-Shot)

No camper is safe in Archie’s haunted summer!

Three terrifying tales will chill Riverdale’s warm summer nights this June in Chilling Adventures Presents… Camp Pickens, an all-new one-shot from the Archie Horror imprint of Archie Comics.

Camp Pickens kicks off with “Bug Juice,” a frame story by writer Jordan Morris and artist Diana Camero, in which Jughead Jones leads a group of campers on a quest to find a mysterious drink that counselors think will ward off evil and misfortune . . . which Camp Pickens requires because it is ridiculously haunted. As they go deeper into the woods and use all their camp skills to make it through the night, they learn more about the camp’s monstrous past.

That past is revealed in “The Curse of Camp Pickens,” a tale of ghostly menace through the ages by writer Blake Howard and artist Carola Borelliand the slasher send-up “Down and Out and Death Cursed” by writer Tim Seeley and artist Mike Norton.
