Archie... Archie Andrews, Where Are You? Comics Digest Magazine #73

When Long Jane Silver suddenly appears at Riverdale High, the usual mid-term chaos takes a swashbuckling turn—especially as Mr. Weatherbee and Miss Grundy vanish without a trace. Jo and the gang soon learn that not all pirates are the swashbuckling kind, and some of the most dangerous ones wear smiles. Beware the Pretty Pirate—because even the smoothest sea can hide a storm.

In "Flying High," Hilda’s bold claim about seeing a flying saucer sparks disbelief—until she turns the skeptics’ doubts against them with a touch of magic. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story takes a playful, surreal turn as skepticism itself becomes the target.

In "Prof. Lovett, Prof. Lovett, Wherefore Art Thou, Prof. Lovett...?!!", the mystery of why every male student at Riverdale High is suddenly obsessed with the new drama teacher, Sam Lovett, finally unravels when Miss Grundy discovers the surprising truth behind the fascination—Sam is a woman. The revelation sends ripples through the school, but the real question is how long the secret can stay hidden.

In "The Dead Line," Archie finds himself caught between two commitments: a promise to help Betty with the school newspaper and a tempting ice skating invite from Veronica. When Veronica hints she might take Reggie instead, Archie scrambles to escape his duty—only to realize that skipping out might cost him more than just a few minutes of homework.

In "Sculpture Schemer," Veronica teams up with a professional sculptor to outdo Betty and Archie in a snowy contest, determined to keep the five-hundred-dollar prize out of their hands—before they can spend it together.
