Archie Giant Series Magazine #456

In "Actor Action," Archie dreams of starring in the school play—only to wake up to the wild, chaotic reality of life behind the camera. From frantic rehearsals to the absurd demands of fame, he discovers just how much more than just lines goes into being a movie star.

In a rainy Riverdale High, Mr. Svensen is furious over puddles flooding the hallways—until he teams up with Miss Beazley to devise a clever solution. The chaos of damp floors leads to an unexpectedly inventive cleanup plan, turning a school nuisance into a moment of unlikely teamwork.

In "This Unchanging World," Jo navigates the timeless rituals of getting ready for a date, from hair and makeup to wardrobe choices, as the story playfully contrasts her modern routine with a similarly meticulous one from Victorian times—highlighting how little the teenage experience has changed, even across centuries.

In "It's Always Fall," Archie’s winter woes take a turn when his constant slips on icy sidewalks drive him to despair. Veronica, ever the schemer, takes matters into her own hands by whisking Archie and Betty off to her heated indoor pool for a much-needed break from the cold.
