☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Have a Nice Trip! Part 1," Archie’s dream of becoming a photographer takes a surprising turn when his photos of Betty and Veronica land him in hot water—only to launch him into an unexpected modeling adventure. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1994 Vacation Special captures the classic Archie charm with a fresh twist. The cover by Dan Parent and Rex W. Lindsey perfectly frames the summer fun ahead.
In "Have a Nice Trip Part 2," the gang's misadventures roll on as Betty steers them to a park where fate seems determined to trip them up. Jughead, ever the optimist, insists on a theme park detour, and eventually, the group reaches the beach in Riverdale—where the real chaos might just be beginning.
Archie’s dream of becoming a photographer takes a hilarious turn when his attempt to impress Keen Teen magazine backfires—after submitting bathing suit photos of Betty and Veronica, he’s left with a new, unexpected role: the model. Now, with his camera replaced by a spotlight, Archie’s got a whole new kind of picture to pose for.
In "Defense Zone," Archie and his friends face off against Betty and Veronica in a baseball game—only to be outmatched when the girls bring a team of elementary school girls to the field, turning the game into an unexpected challenge. The story captures the playful rivalry and lighthearted humor of teen summer antics, with the usual suspects finding themselves on the losing end of a surprisingly fierce contest.
