Archie's Big Book #1

Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch flips the script on high school drama with a spellbinding twist: she’s a witch who hexes her classmates for fun, all while navigating the usual teen chaos. With rules as strict as they are quirky—no crying, no sinking in water, and love? That’s a total power drain—Sabrina’s got her magic and her attitude firmly in check.

In "Witch Pitch," Sabrina tries to hex her school’s hockey team for Della, but finds herself distracted by a cute player—accidentally helping him score instead. Della, furious at the botched spell, takes matters into her own hands… until she lays eyes on the team’s handsome coach and has a change of heart.

In "Tennis Menace," Sabrina sets her sights on charming the effortlessly cool Bruce Van Klood, determined to win him over through sheer wit and charm—no magic required. But when her rival Rosalind starts outplaying her on the court, Sabrina realizes that the game might be tougher than she thought.

In "Strange Love," Sabrina’s prank takes a magical twist when she casts a spell on Archie to get back at Harvey for flirting with someone else—only to find herself unexpectedly caught in the crossfire when Veronica shows up, furious at Archie’s sudden affection. Written with playful charm and drawn with whimsical flair, this six-page tale spins a delightfully awkward love triangle where magic, jealousy, and memory are all on the line.

When Melody gets banned from gym class for being too distracting, Alex Cabot III offers a private workout session at his mansion—bringing Josie and Pepper along for a high-society fitness adventure.

In "Neat Workers," Josie and Pepper enlist Albert and Sock in a nationwide fitness challenge, starting with a surprisingly grueling task: cleaning out Josie’s dad’s cluttered garage. With playful banter and classic teen chaos, the group navigates the mess—and each other—on their way to a surprisingly active day.

In "Track Down," Josie and Pepper try to get the boys to join them for a workout, but their efforts fall flat—until Melody starts running laps in her shorts, sending everyone scrambling to keep up. The story captures the usual Archie-style mix of lighthearted antics and playful chaos, all centered around a simple, silly moment that spirals into a running frenzy.

In "Footlight Follies," a charismatic drama instructor arrives at Josie's high school to helm the annual play, drawing every girl into auditions with dreams of the spotlight. But when the boys catch sight of the director's assistant, their indifference melts—soon, they’re lining up to join the cast, too.

In "Show Biz Blues," George’s mounting panic over a disastrous play rehearsal reaches a boiling point, convinced the whole production is dooming his future. When Mr. Tuttle offers a surprisingly calm solution—just change your name and try something else—the moment lands with a perfectly deadpan punch.

In "Sweater Girls Chapter I," Melody’s casual shopping trip takes a wild turn when she unknowingly buys a sweater hiding a stash of diamonds—setting off a high-stakes chase that follows her and her friends to Alex’s beach house. With the smugglers on their trail, the girls must stay one step ahead in a whirlwind of seaside antics and close calls.

In "Take Me to Your Leader," the Pussycats find themselves on the road again—this time in a borrowed van after their old one gets repossessed. With Alexandra now in charge and a new name in tow, the band’s first stop in a Central American republic turns into an unexpected political sensation when Alexandra takes the stage and sets the nation abuzz with her music.

In "Sing a Song of Sixpence," Alex Cabot takes on Veronica Lodge in a battle of wits and wealth, challenging her to a showdown of upper-crust superiority. Determined to prove that no one can out-snob a Cabot, he enlists the Pussycats for a sarcastic serenade outside the Lodge mansion—turning a classic rhyme into a high-society prank.

When Alex lands the band a gig at the mysteriously grimy El Club Kreepo, things quickly go south—literally. The band’s attempts to sabotage the show with a string of increasingly absurd mishaps only raise the stakes, leaving them trapped in a venue that’s more nightmare than stage.

In "Playing House," Archie and Ronnie dive into a chaotic game of pretend marriage, proving even pretend couples can’t keep the peace. Betty tries to join in, pairing her cat with Archie’s dog in a hilariously mismatched wedding — all while the usual teenage shenanigans unfold.

When Little Archie and his dad hike up Wilderness Mountain to take photos, curiosity leads the young explorer off the trail—into the deep forest, where a hungry wolf suddenly appears. With the camera his only companion, Little Archie must find a way back before the shadows grow too long.

In "The Big Loser," Ambrose’s earnest attempt to be Little Archie’s pal takes a wild turn when he steps in to race Reggie’s ice boat on Crystal Lake—despite Little Archie’s clear disinterest. With over-the-top determination and a dash of misguided loyalty, Ambrose dives headfirst into a snowy showdown that’s less about winning and more about proving he’s the real deal.

In "Little Archie on Mars," the mischievous youngster is whisked away to the Red Planet by the bumbling Martians Abercrombie and Stitch, who’ve been sent to Earth to collect a specimen. Once on Mars, a single slip of the tongue during a tense audience with the Grand Council lands Little Archie in a Martian zoo—far from home and in way over his head.

In "Lawbreaker," Little Archie takes his role as traffic cop way too seriously, inventing absurd new rules just to round up his friends—only to turn the jail into a police car and give chase after Ambrose’s wild go-kart ride. It’s a playful, fast-paced romp where imagination runs as fast as the kart itself.

In "The Strange Case of the Mystery Map," Little Archie and reporter wannabe Jimmy Lee stumble upon a peculiar old woman who’s hiding a surprising secret—she’s actually a young woman in disguise. Their curiosity is piqued when she leaves behind a cryptic map, leading them on a hunt for buried treasure tied to a reclusive, treasure-hunting millionaire with a grudge against reporters.

In "The Super Sleuth," Little Archie dons a disguise to crack the case of the missing hubcaps and radios, suspecting the South Side Serpents—only to uncover the real culprit: Chester Punkett, acting solo. With Ronnie chasing the story for the school paper, Little Archie must outsmart Chester by turning the Serpents into unwitting allies, all while keeping his own identity under wraps.
