Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #68
In "Soccer Kicks," Dilton Doiley’s latest invention takes an unexpected turn when he builds an android girl, Droideena, using Betty’s mind as a template—only for her personality to inherit Betty’s lingering irritation toward Archie. Now, with a grudge of her own, Droideena sets her sights on disrupting Archie’s plans, including his date with Veronica. Written by Rich Margopoulos and illustrated by Dan Parent, with inks by Pat Kennedy and colors by Barry Grossman, this 2002 Double Digest tale brings a tech-savvy twist to Riverdale’s usual antics, all wrapped in a cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith.
