☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Trouble in Store," Archie’s attempt to win Veronica’s favor with a plush teddy bear from Reggie takes a bizarre turn when Jughead uncovers the gift’s hidden flaw—someone’s been eavesdropping. With a mix of mischief and misdirection, Jughead devises a plan to catch Reggie in his tracks. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this classic Archie tale unfolds with the signature charm and humor of the series. The cover, by Jeff Shultz and Jon D'Agostino, captures the playful tension perfectly.
When Archie accidentally enters the wrong code on the Riverdale Bazaar’s security system, he and his friends find themselves locked inside for the night—along with two younger kids who’d been hiding in the back. With the store dark and quiet, the group must figure out how to get out before morning, all while navigating the unexpected company and the growing tension of being trapped together.
In "A Clothes Encounter of the Worst Kind," Mr. Lodge frets over the risk of being robbed while carrying valuable bearer bonds, prompting Archie to suggest he blend in by dressing more casually—though the plan quickly spirals into unexpected chaos.
When Mr. Weatherbee pulls a handful of suggestions from the class suggestion box—mostly from Archie—he’s sure they’ll be ridiculous enough to prove his point. Instead, his decision to actually implement them earns unexpected praise from Superintendent Haskins, leaving him both confused and oddly pleased.
In "Voice Of Doom," Archie’s attempt to win Veronica’s favor with a gift from Reggie takes a bizarre turn when Jughead uncovers the teddy bear’s hidden microphone. With a mix of mischief and clever planning, Jughead devises a staged prank to catch Reggie in the act—turning the bear’s recording into a surprise of its own.
Archie, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Lodge, and Veronica set off for a simple fishing trip in the Riverdale Triangle, but a sudden storm strands them on a mysterious island—where, to their shock, dinosaurs roam. With no way out and the wilderness full of prehistoric surprises, the group must navigate the dangers of the island and their own clashing personalities.
