Archie Annual #13

In a delightfully wordless twist, Archie and Veronica’s romance hits a rough patch, prompting Betty and Reggie to seize the moment—only to find that even the most dramatic moves can’t replace the simple, stubborn pull of two little words: "Archie" and "Veronica."

In "Apple Turnover," Jo and her friends are tempted by Mr. Lodge’s offer to pay them for picking apples, but Reggie’s quick thinking turns the job into a midnight adventure—because when it comes to apples, the real fun’s in the sneaking.

Archie's sudden decision to attend summer school shocks his usual slackers—Jo, Reggie, and Jughead—into action, setting off a chain reaction where even the most reluctant of them start thinking about studying. The story follows their quirky, humorous attempts to embrace the idea, all sparked by Archie’s unexpected resolve.

In "Finger Folly," Reggie’s prankful frustration over losing a date with Veronica leads him to attempt a mysterious "whammy" gesture on Archie—only for Archie and Betty to test its power with a mix of curiosity and amusement. The story unfolds in a lighthearted, classic Archie-style caper, where playful rivalry and teenage antics take center stage.

In "Playback," Veronica pulls a clever prank using a pre-recorded tape to trick Archie into thinking she's still home while she sneaks out for a date with Reggie. When Reggie tries the same trick to secretly meet Midge—without Moose finding out—the plan takes a hilariously tangled turn.
