☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Green Thumb Dumb," Archie’s study plans go awry when a sudden storm redirects his path from Veronica’s to Betty’s, turning a simple errand into an unexpected detour. Written by Kathleen Webb and illustrated by Pat Kennedy with inks by Jon D'Agostino, this lighthearted tale captures the classic Archie charm with a touch of teenage misadventure. The cover by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith perfectly captures the mood of the moment.
Archie’s study session with Miss Haggly runs late, leaving him stranded when a sudden storm cuts short his plan to visit Veronica. Forced to seek shelter, he ends up at Betty’s house—where the quiet moment might just turn into something more.
In "The Image Maker!", Sandman, a portly but dangerous C.R.U.S.H. agent, kidnaps Mr. Lodge and uses his tech to craft an evil duplicate, bent on destroying the top P.O.P. agents. With the real Lodge in danger and a doppelgänger on the warpath, chaos unfolds in Riverdale’s shadowy undercurrents.
In "Winner Takes All," Veronica holds the key to a rock concert ticket, and her choice between Archie and Reggie comes down to who impresses her most during a high-stakes hockey game—where every pass, save, and moment of daring could tip the balance in their favor.
In "Wherefore Art," Archie swaps Mr. Lodge’s newly acquired painting with one of his own, setting off a quiet but clever prank that hinges on art, deception, and the ever-watchful eye of the school’s most notorious rich kid. The story unfolds with a playful twist on ownership and perception, all within the familiar world of Riverdale’s teenage antics.
In "An Honest Mistake," Archie and Reggie find themselves in a classroom challenge when Mr. Weatherbee tasks them with dressing as George Washington and Abe Lincoln, determined to spend the school day telling only the truth. As the pair navigate their roles, the pressure to stay honest quickly turns their usual antics into a test of character—no matter how hard it is to admit they’ve been caught in a lie.
