☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn ancient Egypt, the loyal peasant girl Bettapeni races to warn her beloved Captain of the guards, Archierunatdames, about a deadly conspiracy brewing in the royal court—orchestrated by the treacherous Grand Vizier Reggileptimen and the Queen’s handmaiden Veronicapet. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Marty Epp, this dramatic chapter of "Good-bye Forever Part 2" unfolds with tension and intrigue, all rendered in the classic style of Archie’s Double Digest Magazine. The cover, by Norm Breyfogle, captures the epic scale of the tale.
In "Good-bye Forever Part 2," the news that Archie and his family are leaving Riverdale sends shockwaves through the town, stirring unexpected emotions in even the most unlikely hearts—Reggie included. As the final days unfold, the bonds between friends grow heavier with unspoken farewells, and even Jughead’s loyalty to a free milkshake at Pop’s can’t outweigh the ache of saying goodbye.
In "Board Game," Reggie takes center stage showing off his wakeboarding moves to a group of girls, unaware that Archie’s quiet command behind the wheel is the real talk of the water. The moment unfolds with playful tension as the sun glints off the waves and the real competition begins—off the board, and on the surface.
When Archie dives into the swimmin' hole and loses his trunks, he makes a quick, desperate dash home—only to realize too late he’s using a poison ivy bush as a makeshift cover. The resulting rash sets off a chain of awkward, hilarious mishaps that test his usual charm.
In "Lonely Boy," Archie finds himself unexpectedly alone at the beach when his friends are too busy to join him—only to quickly realize that being alone might not be so lonely after all, as girls keep showing up out of nowhere. The story captures a lighthearted moment of surprise and self-discovery, with Archie navigating the unexpected attention in a way that’s both funny and quietly sweet.
In "The Race," Archie, Betty, and Dilton team up with Veronica, Moose, and Reggie for a high-stakes yacht race, where quick thinking and clever tactics take center stage. As Reggie tries to win by exploiting every rule in the book, his strategy begins to unravel in unexpected ways—just as the finish line nears.
In ancient Egypt, peasant girl Bettapeni races to warn her beloved Captain of the guards, Archierunatdames, about a deadly conspiracy brewing in the palace—orchestrated by the treacherous Grand Vizier Reggileptimen and the Queen’s handmaiden Veronicapet. With loyalty tested and danger closing in, the fate of the Pharaoh hangs in the balance.
