☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Discriminating Taste," Little Archie’s messy room becomes an unexpected trap when a cat burglar known as "Cat" Kane targets the Andrews home—after drugging Spotty, the family cat. With the help of his scattered toys, Little Archie stumbles upon the intruder, but can the household outwit the thief before he escapes? Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this 1986 tale blends classic Archie charm with a clever twist, all brought to life in a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
Sabrina tries to win a spot in Archie’s circle by quietly using her magic to help the group—just a little luck here, a helpful nudge there—but no matter how much things go right, the gang chalks it up to chance, never suspecting the real spell behind the scenes.
In "A Change of Luck," Reggie tries to outwit Jughead with a series of pranks, only to be baffled by his friend’s uncanny ability to avoid every one. Jughead reveals the secret: he’s protected by his lucky rabbit’s foot, and when he lends it to Reggie, the luck seems to vanish—leaving Reggie wondering if the charm is truly magical or just a matter of belief.
In "Sports Spree," Little Archie’s boredom with TV and indoor games leads Fred to suggest trying outdoor sports—only for each new activity to end in a comically disastrous mishap, each one taking a toll on one of his father’s prized possessions. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures the chaotic charm of childhood energy with a perfectly timed, escalating series of mishaps.
When Sabrina calls Harvey boring, Della waves her wand and turns him into a magnet for attention—so charming that even Sabrina starts noticing him in ways she never did before.
In "Take It Easel," Alex’s unexpected praise for Melody’s abstract painting sets off a prank when Pepper and Albert decide to embarrass them both by entering the artwork into an art show. The story follows the chaotic fallout as the trio navigates the absurdity of gallery culture and the unexpected spotlight.
In "Gentle Reminder," Linda’s offhand comment about Wilbur’s less-than-chivalrous behavior sets off a chain reaction in Riverdale, where rumors spiral faster than a record on the jukebox. Soon, Wilbur’s reputation as a “cave man casanova” is the talk of every lunch table and locker line—though no one seems to know exactly what he did.
When Little Archie leaves his toys scattered around the house, his dad is furious—but even more so when a cat burglar named Cat Kane sneaks in after drugging Spotty. Thanks to the chaos of scattered toys, the Andrews family might just catch the thief, but can they stop him before he makes his escape?
In "Duke of Decay," Riverdale faces a slimy siege when the eccentric Murray Decay unleashes a bizarre device that turns every bite of food in town to rot. With the entire town's meals turning to mold and decay, Jo and her friends must find a way to stop the villain before his scheme forces everyone out—leaving the town ripe for his takeover.
