☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Lord of the Games," Little Archie gains a sudden glimpse of the future after a gym class accident—only to be haunted by a vivid dream of a red-dressed girl in danger. When he sees Veronica in red the next day, he acts on instinct to save her, only to lose his strange new sight in the process. Written and illustrated by Dexter Taylor, with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 2019 Double Digest tale blends youthful anxiety with a touch of the uncanny. The cover, by Bill Galvan, captures the moment of suspense with striking clarity.
In "Blockade Runner," Archie puts his mischievous mind to work when he learns Mr. Weatherbee is headed to his dad’s house—so he rallies his friends to set up a chaotic obstacle course to keep the principal at bay. With classic teen antics and a dash of playful sabotage, the story unfolds as Archie tries to outwit the school’s most dreaded authority figure.
Archie tries to do Veronica a favor by watching her big dog, but things go sideways when the pup escapes during a high-stakes dinner party at the Lodge mansion. With chaos unfolding and Mr. Lodge’s guests on edge, Archie’s attempt to keep the dog under control quickly spirals into a series of escalating mishaps.
When a bump to the head during gym class gives Little Archie a glimpse of the future, he’s shaken by a haunting vision of a girl in a red dress hurt in a car accident. The next day, spotting Veronica in red walking into traffic, he acts on instinct—only to lose the strange power when the moment passes.
In "Doll Crazy," the Dilly Doll Company’s new twin dolls spark a toy war when Mr. Lodge’s company responds with Archies-themed dolls—only for the Dilly Dolls to hire Sneaky Sam to disrupt the band’s concerts. With mischief on the loose and the spotlight on the Archies, it’s up to the group to outwit the sabotage and keep their music—and their reputation—intact.
