☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Follow the Bouncing Boy!", Archie’s gang gets caught in a playful prank war when Linda mimics Laurie’s voice to set up a surprise party—only for Wilbur to spot the ruse, leading to a twist that flips the plans and gives Wilbur and Laurie a rare moment alone. Written and drawn by Joe Edwards, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Joe Edwards, this lighthearted tale captures the charm of small-town high school antics. The cover by Fernando Ruiz and Fabio Redivo perfectly captures the mischievous energy of the issue.
In "Iron Wills," Archie and Chuck push each other to the limit as they train for a triathlon, turning their friendly rivalry into a test of endurance, grit, and good-natured banter. Their journey through swim, bike, and run challenges reveals just how much they value both competition and camaraderie.
In "Can You Dig It? part one," Archie and his friends join a summer fossil dig for extra school credit, supervised by grad student Ben Alvarez. When Reggie and Archie’s usual antics disrupt the dig, they’re quickly booted off the project—leaving their future fossil finds, and their reputations, buried.
In "Can You Dig It? part two," Archie and Reggie find themselves sidelined from a summer fossil dig at the school's dig site, much to their dismay. With the help of grad student Ben Alvarez, the kids are supposed to earn extra credit—except their usual antics quickly turn the dig into a chaotic mess.
In "Lawbreaker," Little Archie takes his role as traffic cop far too seriously, inventing wild new rules just to catch his friends in his makeshift jail. When Ambrose speeds off in a go-kart, Archie turns his jail into a police car and gives chase, turning the whole neighborhood into his playground of absurd justice.
Archie takes on Reggie’s challenge to prove he’s not just “Mister Mess-up,” but when tasked with handling a tricky job, his usual antics quickly turn the situation into a whirlwind of chaos—just as Reggie predicted. With the bet on the line, Archie’s determination is tested in ways he never expected.
In "A Genuine Imitation," Linda’s playful prank of mimicking Laurie’s voice to organize a party backfires when Wilbur sees through the ruse—only for Laurie to call everyone back and switch the location to her own house. The mix-up sets the stage for a quiet moment between Wilbur and Laurie, where the usual chaos gives way to something more personal.
In "Fight to the Finish," Laurie’s plans to attend a show with Slats spark a rivalry when Wilbur finds out—leading to a heated argument that escalates into a coin-flip showdown. But when Laurie feels left out of the decision, she walks away, leaving both boys to wonder if they’ve just lost their chance.
