Archie... Archie Andrews, Where Are You? Comics Digest Magazine #57

In "The Final Test," Betty and Veronica turn the tables on Archie and Reggie’s usual bravado, daring them to prove their courage with a shopping trip for perfume and lingerie. While the boys hesitate, Jughead steps up with uncharacteristic confidence, leaving the others stunned by his unexpected resolve.

In "Stairway to the Stars," the usual chaos of Riverdale takes a slippery turn when the girls remove the knob from the bottom of the Lodges' stairway, turning the bannister into their personal slide. Smithers, already on edge, responds by waxing the rail to the point of near-ice-like slickness, setting the stage for a house full of high-stakes, gravity-defying fun.

In a classic case of mistaken vanity, Cheryl Blossom tricks Jason into stealing a dress Veronica designed—only to discover the stitching is as chaotic as her confidence. With Archie’s usual charm nowhere in sight, it’s up to Veronica’s questionable craftsmanship to turn the tables in this lighthearted, needle-thin prank.

Jughead stumbles upon a shark while scuba-diving, turning his underwater adventure into a sudden panic. When Ethel appears on the dock to greet him, he hesitates—then dives back into the water, still wary of the finned intruder.

When the Pussycats treat themselves to a fancy weekend at a luxury resort, their fun takes a magical turn—thanks to Alexandra, who’s secretly trailing them. With a flick of her spellbook, she sabotages their plans, turning their cash into play money and turning their getaway into a series of escalating mishaps.
