☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "On the Map," Scoop Scanlon’s penchant for sensational headlines backfires when Archie and Jughead turn the tables with their own clever spin on the school paper’s next edition. With Stan Goldberg’s lively art, Jon D'Agostino’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1983 digest delivers a classic slice of Riverdale mischief—perfect for fans of the series’ signature humor. The cover by Dan DeCarlo captures the chaos in classic style.
In "On the Map," Archie tries to juggle dates with Betty and Veronica—both set for the same night—while enlisting Jughead’s help and a detailed map to keep his plans from unraveling. With his parents watching, Archie’s attempt to navigate the chaos of teenage romance unfolds in a single, cleverly plotted afternoon.
In "Scandal Sheet Part I," Scoop Scanlon, the overzealous editor of the school newspaper, leans into sensationalism with exaggerated headlines to boost readership—until Archie and Jughead decide to turn the tables. With a mix of wit and mischief, they craft their own headlines that mirror Scoop’s tactics, turning the spotlight back on him in a clever game of journalistic one-upmanship.
In "Scandal Sheet Part II," Scoop Scanlon, the ever-dramatic editor of the school newspaper, leans hard on sensational headlines to boost readership—until Archie and Jughead decide to turn the tables. With a mix of wit and mischief, they craft their own exaggerated stories, giving Scoop a taste of the very hype he’s been peddling.
In "Love Finds a Way," Veronica tries her best to stay patient with Archie after reading a magazine piece that advises against being bossy—easy in theory, impossible in practice when he’s around. The moment he starts giving orders, she’s tempted to roll her eyes, but the real challenge is keeping her cool when he’s just being… Archie.
Archie gets a rare night out when his parents hand him cash for a dinner treat—only to find his good intentions backfire when a grumpy diner cook can’t handle his endless chatter. With his meal and dignity both on the line, Archie’s night takes a turn no one saw coming.
