Archie's Double Digest Magazine #61

In "Space Nut," Dilton Doiley’s latest theory about space monsters gets a real-life twist when he disguises himself as an alien to scare Moose and Midge—only to be stuck with green makeup that won’t come off. The prank takes a turn when his elaborate cover-up becomes harder to escape than the monsters he was pretending to be.

Archie’s down on his luck and too proud to ask for help—until Veronica sets up a chance encounter with a surprising windfall. But when the money arrives, Archie’s sudden obsession with saving every penny starts to change him in ways no one expected.

In "Diamond Fire," Archie and Jughead grow uneasy watching a group of shabby strangers gather nightly on a forgotten beach. When their curiosity turns to suspicion, the duo uncovers a secret smuggling operation and sets a clever trap to bring the gang to justice.

In "Car Sick," Archie’s jalopy sputters to life only to strand him when Reggie abandons him mid-ride, whisking Veronica off to Cuddle Cove. Left behind, Archie’s misfortune takes a turn when Veronica, unimpressed with Reggie’s detour, returns to rescue the car—and Archie—before things get any messier.
