Archie Comics Digest #9

In "Litter Perfect," Betty and Veronica clash over a simple moment on the sidewalk: Betty pockets a quarter she finds, while Veronica tosses a five-dollar bill back down, sparking a debate about what it truly means to do the right thing. The question isn’t just about money—it’s about values, responsibility, and how small choices reveal bigger truths.

In "Handy Man!", Archie’s accidental crash lands him with two black eyes, prompting him to hide from Veronica’s judgment by faking illness. While he stays home, Reggie spins a prank using green hand prints, making it seem like Archie’s fear of the mysterious Green Hand is real.

In "Odor Wise," Archie’s uncanny ability to identify perfumes lands him in a playful predicament when Betty and Veronica challenge him to track them by scent. Their prank takes a turn when they accidentally spray Moose instead, sending Archie on a confusing chase through Riverdale’s streets.

In "Collector's Item!", Reggie, newly minted student council president, faces the dreaded task of collecting money for the school dance refreshments—until Jughead shows him a surprisingly smooth way to turn the chore into a win. With a mix of charm and comic timing, Jughead’s approach proves that even the most dreaded jobs can be handled with a little wit and a whole lot of pancakes.

In "Don't Fence Me In," Mr. Weatherbee tries to give Archie a lesson in fencing—complete with a fencing mask—only to find it stuck firmly on his head. Now unable to remove it, he’s forced to deliver an impromptu speech to the school board, much to everyone’s surprise.

In "All For One," Veronica sets her sights on a quiet moment with Archie—only to discover he’s already with Betty. Left feeling sidelined, Jughead gently suggests she might be better off joining them, hinting that her presence tends to dampen the mood.

In "Mr. Inferno," Betty makes a desperate deal with the Devil to win Archie’s heart—only to discover Veronica made the same bargain long before. As the two rivals confront their shared secret, the Devil’s sudden disappearance leaves them both wondering what comes next.

In "Southern Exposure!", Archie comes back from a trip to the South transformed—sporting a new Southern wardrobe, a smooth Southern drawl, and a charm that has the girls in a tizzy. His sudden change in style and mannerisms turns heads and stirs up some unexpected attention in Riverdale.
