Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #237
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Small Is Big," Archie finds himself in a classic predicament when he accidentally schedules dates with both Betty and Veronica for the same evening. Trying to escape his date with Betty, he makes matters worse by being a complete boor—leading to a chaotic evening that tests his charm and nerve. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, inks by John Lowe, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest tale captures the timeless humor of Riverdale’s most famously indecisive teen. The cover, by Bob White, perfectly captures the moment’s tension.
In "Late Fate," Archie lends a hand to Reggie when his car breaks down on the way to a date with Midge—just in time to deliver him late, neatly avoiding a potentially awkward encounter with Moose.
Archie finds himself in a sticky situation when he accidentally double-books a date with both Betty and Veronica on the same night. Trying to escape his date with Betty, he acts so awkwardly that even his usual charm backfires.
In "Cold Reality!", Archie grumbles to his parents about the freezing weather—until Betty and Veronica invite him out for a sledding adventure, turning his icy complaints into something altogether more fun.
In "Cool Ridicule," the girls push back against the boys' brand of chivalry—calling it outdated and sexist—by mirroring the very behaviors they find frustrating. Archie and Reggie soon find themselves on the receiving end of a playful but pointed reversal, as the girls take a turn at dishing out the same old-school gestures they’ve long criticized.
In "Lodge -- A Complaint!", Mr. Lodge's latest business move puts Riverdale High's favorite hangout in jeopardy, forcing Archie and Veronica to step in with a small offer on Pop Tate's malt shop before it's too late. Tensions rise at a reunion at the malt shop, where old friendships fray and tempers flare—especially when Midge and Moose both find new partners. Just as things seem to reach a breaking point, Moose drops a surprising revelation that shifts the mood entirely: he’s running for mayor, and his real first name might just be the key to calming the storm.
