☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Adventures in the Wonder Realm Part Two," Archie and the gang navigate the lingering effects of a magical mishap at the school dance, where a spritz of aromatherapy has left everyone acting strangely. With Professor Flutesnoot’s help and a little spark from Archie’s antics, the spell begins to fade—leaving behind a surprising new connection between Reggie and Ethel. Written by Paul Castiglia and illustrated by Fernando Ruiz, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Stephanie Vozzo, and letters by Vickie Williams, this whimsical chapter features a cover by Joe Staton and Bob Smith.
When Professor Flutesnoot invites Wendy Wistful to co-teach his aromatherapy class, the last thing anyone expects is a pheromone-powered butterfly chaos that flips the whole room’s romantic dynamics—leaving everyone scrambling to figure out who’s who, and who’s next.
Archie and Professor Flutesnoot team up to unravel the mystery of the love-drugged class, with Archie trying to shake off his sudden obsession and the professor determined to find a cure. Their only hope lies in tracking down Beaumont, the enigmatic figure who might hold the key to breaking the spell.
In "The Love Bug Will Get You If You Don't Watch Out! (Chapter Three)," Archie and friends face a bizarre twist at the school dance when a misfired aromatherapy spell sends everyone into sudden, overwhelming affection—except for Reggie and Ethel, who discover a surprising connection amid the chaos. The story unfolds with playful tension as the gang tries to regain control, relying on patience, clever distractions, and a well-timed power surge to restore normalcy.
In "And Now... Here's Reggie!!", Reggie's dazzlingly self-assured pitch for becoming a game show host—complete with a flair for dramatics and a dream of surrounded beauty—has an unexpected effect on the school counselor, who’s so convinced by his charisma that he starts reconsidering his own life path.
In "Costume Capers," Miss Beazly enlists Jughead to boost cafeteria traffic by promoting foreign cuisines through national costumes. What starts as a simple school project quickly spirals when Jughead’s outfits—Tyrolean shorts and a Scottish kilt—accidentally turn heads in ways he never expected. Determined to avoid further chaos, Jughead draws the line at a Greek soldier’s kilt, leaving the whole scheme in limbo.
