Archie #180

In "They're Off!", Betty, Archie, Moose, and Midge launch a playful prank to fool Veronica into thinking it's the latest trend for men to carry women on their backs—only to find themselves outmaneuvered when Veronica, in full riding gear and wielding a crop, takes the joke to the next level by riding Reggie like a horse.

Archie’s endless snapping of photos at Mr. Lodge’s plant finally lands him in trouble—when one of his shots accidentally captures something far more serious than he intended. As Veronica and her father grow increasingly frustrated with his antics, the hidden image in a seemingly innocent picture could be the key to uncovering a major crime.

In a delightfully absurd twist of history, Ancient Rome faces a royal crisis when the scheming Regibus and Senator Lodge’s cunning daughter plot to poison Emperor Archie. Their scheme is foiled by the unexpected heroism of Betty, the Emperor’s newest slave girl—whose quick thinking and bold moves turn the tide in this zany, page-turning tale.
