☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Car Crazy," Archie's broken-down car takes an unexpected turn to stardom after a gag photo of Betty attempting a fix goes viral in the Riverdale Record. With the car now a local legend, Archie sees a chance to turn the situation into something profitable—though not everyone in Riverdale is ready for the attention. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Fernando Ruiz, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, this fun-filled tale captures the charm and chaos of Riverdale life. The cover, penciled by Ruiz and inked by D'Agostino, perfectly captures the comic's lighthearted spirit.
When Archie’s car breaks down, a Riverdale Record photographer snaps a gag photo of Betty trying to fix it—only to accidentally make the car a local legend. Now that the image is in print, Archie sees a chance to turn the car’s fame into profit, much to Betty’s surprise.
In "Shipmates," Mr. Weatherbee’s fishing trip hits a snag when his luck runs out on the dock, prompting Archie to offer a ride in his boat. With the motor suddenly stalling, Mr. Weatherbee surprises everyone—especially Archie—with a calm, unexpected display of nautical know-how.
When D.T. Slade nearly takes out Chuck with a wayward golf ball, Archie, Betty, and Chuck team up to enlist Jinx Malloy in a plan to get back at the arrogant baseball star. With a mix of mischief and high school antics, the trio sets off on a prank-filled mission that’s equal parts strategy and chaos.
Archie's trying to keep both Betty and Veronica happy—promising to be at her big baseball championship game and helping Veronica with a charity car wash—only to find himself running in circles. The chaos unfolds in a classic teen comedy of errors, with Archie caught in the middle of two equally important commitments.
