☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Beetlemania," Archie, Reggie, Jughead, and Moose try a bold new tactic to win back the girls' attention—dressing up as The Beatles and performing at the school dance. Their imitation sparks an unexpected wave of popularity, quickly spiraling into a whirlwind of fame they never saw coming. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Samm Schwartz, with inks by Marty Epp and lettering by Marty Epp, the cover by Samm Schwartz captures the frenzy in full swing.
In "Tie Score," Jughead lends Veronica his bow tie to secure her daring blouse, unaware it’ll spark a sudden trend across Riverdale. What starts as a small fashion fix quickly turns into a full-blown style phenomenon—much to Veronica’s surprise.
When Archie accidentally calls another girl "Sylvia" during a playful game of peek-a-boo with Veronica, her jealousy flares—especially when a real girl named Sylvia shows up at Riverdale High looking for him. The mix-up sets off a series of awkward moments as Archie tries to clear the air, all while Veronica watches with growing suspicion.
In "The Culprit," Reggie steps in to solve the mystery of who broke the Lodges' window—only to reveal his real motive is a clever ruse to get Veronica alone for a date. With Archie silently watching, Reggie's over-the-top detective act hides a very personal agenda.
In "Miss-Taken," Betty takes Archie’s request to bring her grill over for a barbecue a little too literally—loading it with fuel from his car in a bid to impress. The resulting chaos unfolds as the grill becomes more than just a cooking tool, testing the limits of friendship and barbecue safety.
In "Spellbound," Veronica faces a frustrating fashion crisis as she tries to pick the perfect outfit for a date with Archie—only for fate to sabotage every choice, leaving her in a series of increasingly disastrous wardrobe moments. The story captures the classic teenage chaos of romance and self-image, all set against the backdrop of a closet full of dreams and ruined dresses.
