Archie & Friends #68
In "So You Wanna Be a Superstar?", Ethel channels her big dreams into a bold new goal: making it happen when Jughead joins her girls' baseball team—though not quite in the way she imagined. With heartfelt determination and a touch of whimsy, this 2003 adventure from writer George Gladir and artist Rex W. Lindsey captures the charm of small-town ambition, all wrapped in a vibrant cover by Rex Lindsey.
In "So You Wanna Be a Superstar?", Frankie’s chance to shine on a national talent show sparks unexpected tension when her reliance on Brigitte’s support stirs jealousy in Maria. The spotlight brings more than applause—it tests friendships and the quiet power of being seen.
In "The Dream," Ethel finds herself inspired by a vivid nighttime vision: Jughead cheering her on from the sidelines as she plays baseball with the girls' team, while he’s somehow part of the boys’ squad. Determined to turn her dream into reality, she sets out to bridge the gap between her imagination and the real world—though whether the game, the team, or even Jughead himself will play along remains to be seen.
