Archie Comics Digest #250
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Beverly Hills," Archie sets off a chain reaction in Riverdale by spreading a rumor that a mysterious billionaire is rewarding those who go the extra mile to clean up the town. With a mix of mischief and good intentions, the whole community gets caught up in the wave of unexpected kindness—sparked by a single, well-timed lie. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, inks by Jon D'Agostino, and colors by Barry Grossman, this lighthearted adventure captures the spirit of Riverdale in a 2.49 USD comic from 2009. The cover, by Rex W. Lindsey, perfectly captures the playful chaos of the story.
Archie spins a wild tale about a mysterious billionaire in Riverdale offering big rewards for anyone who goes the extra mile to clean up town—just to see who’ll fall for it. With Jo and the gang caught in the middle of the prank, the real question isn’t who’s helping, but who’s actually being fooled.
Archie tries to impress Veronica at the ice rink, only to take a classic tumble—just like the time he tried to do a fancy spin in front of her years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews recall a few other times Archie’s overconfidence led to a slip, proving some habits never change.
In "Any Port in a Storm," Archie finds himself caught between studying for Miss Haggly’s test and making it to Veronica’s house, only to be rerouted by a sudden downpour that forces him to seek shelter at Betty’s instead. The familiar rhythms of Riverdale life take a turn as a simple errand becomes an unexpected detour, testing Archie’s instincts and his usual choices.
