Archie Comics Digest #162

In "Lucky Day," Archie’s off-key shower singing catches the ear of a passing stranger who’s convinced the teen has a hidden talent—and he’s ready to sign Archie to a music contract, much to Archie’s parents’ surprise.

In "Pest Controlled," Archie finds himself caught in a bizarre financial tangle when Mr. Lodge’s cousin Elmo shows up with a surprising request to repay a massive debt. With Mr. Lodge hoping Archie’s presence will scare Elmo off, things spiral when Archie accidentally wrecks the car—leaving the Lodge patriarch now owing Elmo a whole lot more than he expected.

In "It's All Downhill!", Reggie launches a campaign to discredit Archie’s claim that he swerved to avoid a child during a wild sled race—insisting instead that Archie simply lost control. As the truth gets tangled in Riverdale’s usual mix of gossip and exaggeration, the whole town starts questioning whether Archie’s heroics were real or just a convenient excuse.

In "Two for the Money," Dilton and Moose team up for a TV game show, with Dilton as the genius and Moose as his dummy—only to be replaced by Archie and Reggie, who’ve got their own scheme in mind. The stakes rise fast when two very different duos go head-to-head, each trying to outwit the other in a contest of wits and charm.

When Riverdale High’s computer crashes just before a crucial math assignment is due, Archie and Jughead panic—until Dilton steps in, breaking the problem into manageable pieces for the gang. With a mix of brains, wit, and a little help from the group’s unique strengths, they tackle the task one step at a time.

In "Rise and Shine," the kids of Riverdale take matters into their own hands when they confront the Mayor over the state of the town’s neglected park—only to find out his attempt to fix it lands him in hot water after he hires his brother-in-law for the job.
