☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Spaced Out!", the Riverdale gang finds a creative way to save their school’s halls from being left bare—when budget cuts threaten the paint job, Mr. Weatherbee and the students roll up their sleeves and take on the job themselves, turning a mundane chore into a shared adventure. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Bob White, with vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and sharp lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1999 Double Digest tale captures the charm and camaraderie that define Archie’s world. The cover, by Rex W. Lindsey, perfectly frames the chaos and fun of the moment.
Archie scrambles to finish a science fair project last minute, settling on a flashy disco jukebox—only to find it dead on arrival. When Jughead casually kicks it, the machine springs to life, turning their makeshift invention into an unexpected hit. The two find themselves winning the fair with their "Kick-a-Tune," proving that sometimes the most unlikely solutions are the most effective.
When a slick-talking salesman leaves Mr. Lodge and Veronica tied up and stripped of their cash, Archie and Jughead take matters into their own hands—only to find themselves trapped in the back of his van, stranded with no way out.
In "Snow Bawl," Mr. Weatherbee lets the students at Riverdale High unleash their winter energy with a snowball fight, pitting the boys against the girls—until he joins the boys' team, only to be caught off guard when the girls reveal their unexpected secret weapon.
When the school’s walls get tagged by the kids before a planned paint job, a budget crunch forces Mr. Weatherbee to team up with the students—no paint budget, no problem. With the halls waiting to be refreshed, the whole crew grabs brushes and gets to work, turning a mundane chore into an unexpected crew effort.
In "Winner Takes All," Veronica hands out a high-stakes challenge: she’ll take either Archie or Reggie to a rock concert, but only if one of them impresses her most during a heated hockey game. With rivalry, nerves, and a little mischief on the ice, the fate of the concert ticket hangs in the balance.
In "Big Mouth," Reggie’s frustration boils over when he feels left out after noticing Archie and the gang acting secretive—only to discover they’ve been planning a surprise party all along. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures the familiar mix of teenage drama and friendship with a touch of humor and heart.
In "The Wrong Impression," a pair of alien invaders land on Earth with conquest on their minds—only one of them decides to take the form of Reggie Mantle. As the townspeople treat the impostor with their usual mix of sarcasm and suspicion, the alien quickly realizes that blending in with Riverdale’s chaotic energy might be more trouble than it’s worth. Written by a team known for their quirky humor, the story unfolds in just five pages of classic Archie-style absurdity.
In a classroom prank gone hilariously wrong, Mr. Weatherbee launches a schoolwide contest: say the "secret word," and homework is canceled. Archie and Reggie, ever the troublemakers, enlist a nervous freshman to help them crack the code—only to find themselves tangled in a web of escalating chaos as the whole school starts guessing.
