☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Sad Sack," Mr. Weatherbee’s festive morning quickly spirals into a series of misfortunes—snowballs, crowded sidewalks, icy slips, and an unexpected fine—before a simple gift of a carol book brings a quiet lift to his day. A classic slice-of-life moment from 1959, this annual story captures the school principal’s holiday woes with warmth and humor, drawn with crisp detail by Samm Schwartz. The cover, by Harry Lucey and Martin Epp, captures the season’s spirit with a festive flair.
Betty takes on a quirky challenge: wearing a sack dress to school to boost sales for a local store, trading her usual style for a look that turns heads—mostly in laughter. But when a fashion photographer captures her unexpected poise, the very dress mocked by her classmates becomes a sudden sensation.
In "Open Secret," Betty sets out to test Archie’s loyalty by sending an anonymous love note—only to watch in disbelief as it circulates through the school, read by dozens of boys who all think they’re the recipient. Written by a mysterious admirer, the note becomes a whirlwind of mistaken identities, leaving Betty scrambling to keep her plan from unraveling.
In "Fish or Foul," Archie and Reggie are determined to keep Betty and Veronica off their fishing trip, convinced the girls are too proper for the rough-and-tumble outdoors. But when the girls find out, they’re not about to be left out—especially not when a little mischief and a shared love of adventure might just prove them wrong.
In "Merrily Yours," Mr. Weatherbee’s festive morning quickly spirals into chaos—snowballs, shopping mall mayhem, a slippery fall, and an unexpected fine—before a simple gift of a carol book brings his holiday cheer back to life. A lighthearted slice of holiday mischief from Archie’s Girls, Betty and Veronica Annual #7 (1959), this five-page gem captures the absurdity of seasonal stress with perfect comedic timing.
In "Brain Washed," Betty nervously prepares for a hayride date with Archie, only to be unsettled by Veronica’s cryptic warnings that she’s planning to ruin the evening. As Betty’s anxiety grows, she begins to question every move Veronica makes—until she’s convinced her rival is out to sabotage her romance.
In "Photo Finish," Betty grows fed up with always being second to Veronica in Archie’s attention—so Jughead takes it upon himself to make a statement, one poster at a time, flooding the school with Betty’s photo in a campaign to prove her worth.
