☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn the icy silence of a mountain cabin, Archie puts a quirky scientific theory to the test—keeping just his temples, wrists, and feet warm in an attempt to stay comfortable without a single stitch of clothing. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.’s expressive art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, "A Time to Reflect" delivers a lighthearted, character-driven moment from the world of Riverdale. The cover by Fernando Ruiz and Jon D’Agostino captures the scene’s playful chill.
Archie tries to earn enough cash shoveling snow for a date with Veronica, only to find himself digging her out of a snowdrift at Lodge Mansion—where the real work might just be getting started.
In "The Two Pretenders," Archie finds himself stepping in as quarterback while Reggie is out sick, determined to keep his true abilities under wraps so the girls won’t be let down if things don’t go perfectly. With the pressure on and his reputation on the line, Archie’s careful act begins to blur the line between performance and reality.
When Scoop Scanlon’s sensational headlines start blurring the line between truth and hype, Archie and Jughead decide to turn the tables—using Scoop’s own tactics against him in a prank that’s as clever as it is deliciously mischievous.
In a snowy mountain cabin, Archie puts his faith in a quirky scientific theory: keep his temples, wrists, and feet warm, and he can go barefoot and shirtless in the freezing cold. With Jo watching skeptically, he’s about to test the limits of this bold, frosty experiment.
