Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest tale captures the chaos of fame with heart and humor. The cover by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith perfectly frames the moment’s splashy drama.
In "Perfect Order," Archie finds himself juggling tutoring duties and family worries when he leaves a stack of test questions on the hall table. His father, caught in the middle of a sudden tax audit, accidentally grabs the wrong envelope—setting off a chain of misunderstandings that could unravel more than just a school assignment.
In "Garden of Eaten," Fred champions the joys of homegrown vegetables as he and Archie tend to their garden, turning back-to-back chores into a lesson in patience and dirt-covered fun. When a bustling farmer’s market pops up nearby, Mr. Andrews insists that gardening remains a worthwhile pastime—no matter how many tomatoes go missing.
Archie sets out on a mission across Riverdale, hopping from one store to the next in a chain that’s handing out free flowers with every purchase—his goal: gather enough blooms to make a perfect bouquet for Veronica. With time ticking and each shop’s supply limited, every stop brings a new chance, a new challenge, and a little more hope.
Archie tries to enjoy his summer break in Riverdale, determined to avoid any talk of school—until he accidentally saves the mayor’s daughter from drowning. Suddenly, his name is everywhere, and Riverdale High can’t stop talking about him, no matter how much he wants to keep summer quiet.
In "Risky Rescue," Archie takes his new role as a lifeguard seriously, determined to prove he’s more than just a jokester—especially after the lead guard warns the team that distractions, like chatting up pretty girls, can cost lives. With a mix of nerves and pride, Archie vows to stay focused, but the real test is just around the corner.
