Archie's Double Digest Magazine #211
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Garden Variety Goofs," the Riverdale gang faces a last-minute crisis when they’re one player short for the big game against the South Side Serpents—forcing them to recruit Betty, who’s never played baseball before. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Mike Esposito, this lighthearted tale captures the charm and chaos of teenage sportsmanship, all capped off by a classic cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith.
In "Treasure Trove," Archie sets out with a metal detector on the beach, drawing teasing from the gang until he uncovers a metal-clasped diary linked to a girl whose family owns a yacht. The discovery sparks curiosity and unexpected connections as the mystery of the diary begins to unfold.
In "Pet-Pourri," Archie, Jughead, and Reggie volunteer at a pet show with one goal: to impress Miss Lockleap. But when Jughead accidentally lets Moose's monkey loose—and the creature opens every cage in sight—the event quickly spirals into chaos.
When the Riverdale team finds itself one player short for the big game against the South Side Serpents, they reluctantly agree to let Betty Cooper suit up—despite her complete lack of baseball experience. With nerves on edge and the whole town watching, Betty steps onto the field for the first time, ready to prove she’s more than just bad luck.
