☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "All the Doggone Day," Riverdale High’s struggling football team looks to regain its spirit when Coach Kleats enlists Archie and Chuck in a behind-the-scenes mission: secretly filming their rivals’ pep rally to catch any taunts that might spark some much-needed fire. With a mix of high school hustle and classic Archie-style mischief, the duo navigates the chaos of school life and locker room tensions, all while keeping their mission under wraps. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Pat Kennedy, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Phil Felix, this Double Digest tale captures the heart of small-town sports rivalry. The cover, by Dan Parent, perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
In "No Comet!", Reggie, Jughead, and Dilton spot Coach Kleats jogging past Pop Tate’s, sparking Reggie’s usual teasing—until Pop Tate steps in with a surprising tale of Kleats’ past. The story unfolds with a nostalgic twist, revealing a side of the coach the boys never expected.
When Mr. Weatherbee steps down as principal of Riverdale High, the school hopes for a smooth transition—only to find that his replacement, Mr. Bartlett, is even more unbearable than the man he replaced. As students and staff alike struggle to cope with his stiff demeanor and rigid rules, chaos begins to brew in the halls.
In "Madcap Riverdale Maladies," the residents of Riverdale face off against a series of hilariously exaggerated ailments, from Archie’s chronic "Archieitis" to Moose’s escalating "Moose fever" and the dreaded "detentionitis." Each panel delivers a perfectly timed, tongue-in-cheek look at the quirky, everyday struggles that only Riverdale could turn into a full-blown epidemic.
In "Veronica Lodge: Attorney of Love," Veronica and her mom settle in for their favorite courtroom drama, *Ally McLaw*, but Veronica drifts off to sleep—only to wake up in a dream where she’s the star attorney in a high-stakes case. With her usual flair and sharp wit, she navigates the courtroom, proving her legal instincts are as polished as her style.
In "Slim Pickin's," Moose faces off against Midge’s strict diet rules, only to find himself caught in a bizarre spiral when Dilton’s experimental candy causes him to shrink—way too fast. The story unfolds with playful chaos as Moose grapples with his sudden size, all while the line between reality and dream blurs.
In "Room Without a Viewer!", Veronica grows frustrated when her videophone endlessly shows her image—even when she’s not at her best. Her father offers a surprising fix: swapping the video feed for an old-fashioned audio-only phone, turning her room into a space where she’s unseen.
When Sabrina returns to Riverdale High after a week of intense magical tutoring from her relatives, she’s determined to catch up—only now, every ordinary school task feels like a spell gone wrong. With her family’s help, she tries to blend her witchy ways with regular teen life, but the real magic might just be how she handles the chaos.
When Aunt Hilda grows tired of flying her broom, she conjures a car with her magic—only to realize she has no idea how to drive it. With Jo and the gang caught in the middle of her chaotic, spell-powered road trip, things quickly spiral out of control.
When new student Sherman House arrives at Riverdale High, Reggie tries to pull off his usual pranks—only to keep triggering a web of elaborate traps Sherman’s set up to catch a supposed criminal. With each failed prank, Reggie finds himself tangled in increasingly absurd traps, unaware that Sherman’s scheme might be more personal than he thinks.
In "It Takes Two to Tumble," Josie is thrown into a whirlwind of gossip when Alexandra drops the bomb that Alan M. has fallen for a blonde waitress. Determined to get the truth, Josie sets out to track down Valerie—only to run into Melody, whose endless chatter turns a simple question into a marathon of distractions.
When Reggie’s latest prank pushes even his closest friends too far, they all vow revenge—until word spreads he’s in the hospital. But when Jo and the gang rush to his bedside, they find the whole thing is just another elaborate gag, masterminded with help from Reggie’s cousin, the nurse.
In "Win Din," Riverdale High’s struggling football team needs a spark, and Coach Kleats enlists Archie and Chuck to pull off a sneaky mission: secretly film their rivals’ pep rally to catch them mocking the team. With the whole school buzzing and egos on the line, the duo’s undercover gig turns into a high-stakes comedy of errors.
