Archie Comics Spectacular: Summer Daze #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Beauty on the Beach," Betty finds herself in Hawaii not just as a guest, but as a jet ski mechanic during the Lodges’ vacation, turning her seaside trip into something far more thrilling than anyone expected. With Veronica pretending to lament Betty’s missed fun, the real surprise comes when Betty’s time on the waves proves to be the adventure of a lifetime. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Jeff Shultz, with inks by Henry Scarpelli, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 2014 summer special captures the carefree spirit of the Archie gang — all under a vibrant cover by Fernando Ruiz and Fabio Redivo.
In "Beauty on the Beach," Jughead’s fascination with the local wildlife takes a backseat to Archie’s distraction—two very particular birds in skimpy bikinis, Betty and Veronica, working out on the sand. The summer heat and sun-soaked scene bring out the usual antics, but with a twist that keeps the fun light and the laughs coming.
In "Leis and Luaus," Betty finds herself jet skiing her way through a Hawaiian vacation that’s anything but routine—especially when the Lodges happen to be on the same island. While Veronica pretends to lament Betty’s missed fun, the truth is, Betty’s turning heads and chasing waves in a way neither of them saw coming.
When news spreads that Archie has a new swimming pool, the entire gang floods his backyard, turning his modest above-ground pool into a chaotic splash zone. Meanwhile, Veronica offers a more relaxed escape—taking Archie, Jughead, and Archie’s dad to her own pool, where they can finally swim in peace.
