☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Names Are the Game!", Archie tries to sneak some quiet time at Veronica's house, only to accidentally hook Mr. Lodge on a new computer video game. Before long, the wealthy businessman’s obsession pulls him—and soon, everyone else—into the digital fray, leaving Archie on the sidelines. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, inks by Bob Smith, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 2020 Jumbo Comics Digest features a cover by Dan Parent and Rich Koslowski.
When a rainy day traps Archie, Betty, and her parents indoors, they dive into the absurdly ambitious board game *Be A Billionaire*. As the game unfolds, Archie’s imagination runs wild with daydreams of wealth and fame—though reality keeps pulling him back to the living room floor.
In "Rocks In His Head!", Jo and the gang dive into the chaotic fun of the new video game *Rock the House*, only to find their parents mysteriously abandoning the movie theater to join in—turning the living room into a full-blown game night. With the whole family now caught in the rhythm of the game, it’s anyone’s guess who’s really in control.
In "Go Go Gift," Clyde’s attempt to return a magic set that no one else can see spirals into chaos when he accidentally turns himself — and possibly Sock — into a dog with a single incantation. Josie steps in with a quick spell of her own, using magic to keep Clyde’s romantic overtures at bay.
In "Fantasy Time," Betty and her mom sort through old toys for charity, but Betty’s imagination turns each one into a whimsical adventure—complete with Archie as a daring hero and a magical realm of her making. Veronica, ever the uninvited guest, keeps popping up in these daydreams, disrupting the fantasy with her usual flair.
Archie tries to steal a moment with Veronica at her house, only to accidentally hook Mr. Lodge on a video game—and suddenly, the man is the one dominating Archie’s free time. As the game takes over their lives, Archie finds himself sidelined, even when Veronica brings home a new boyfriend who’s quick to join the digital fray.
Jughead Jones tries something new: a New Year’s resolution to eat healthy. But when his body starts reacting badly to salads and smoothies, the consequences take a turn no one saw coming—especially not the doctors who insist he needs his usual junk food to survive.
Sabrina steps out of a lingerie shop to find a snowman standing exactly where Harvey was waiting—though it’s not winter, and there’s no snow in sight. The absurdity of the moment sets off a chain of bewildering events as Sabrina tries to make sense of her missing boyfriend and the icy stranger in his place.
Betty, Veronica, Ginger, and Nancy take a winter tour of the Lodge Estate, only to find the trip full of frosty surprises and hilarious mishaps. With Mr. Lodge overseeing the adventure, the girls navigate icy halls and unexpected snowstorms in this lighthearted, seasonal slice of Riverdale life.
In "Dance Fever," Betty and Veronica team up—sort of—to win Archie’s attention at the winter formal, spending the day snowmobiling with him in a bid to stand out. Their shared adventure takes a chilly turn when both end up sidelined by unexpected sickness, leaving their plans for the big night up in the air.
In "The Haves and Have-Nots," Veronica catches Betty and Archie in a moment, sparking a sudden switch that leaves Archie and Veronica tangled in a pie-filled prank. The resulting photo—captured in the chaos—ends up on the cover of the school’s humor magazine, a moment neither expected.
In "Heat Rave," when the Cooper house loses power during a sweltering summer night, Archie’s offer to host the family at his place sets off a spark of tension—especially for Veronica, who isn’t thrilled about sharing the spotlight. With the air thick and tempers simmering, a night of forced proximity turns into something far more complicated than anyone expected.
In "Anniversary Blues," Betty worries that Veronica is mad because Archie missed their anniversary, but the real reason behind Veronica’s mood is something far more personal—Betty never remembered their friendship anniversary. The story unfolds with quiet tension and heartfelt missteps, exploring how even the closest bonds can be strained by small oversights.
