Archie Spotlight Digest: Archie 75th Anniversary Digest #4
"Going, Going, Gown" is a charming, high-spirited chapter from the Archie 75th Anniversary Digest #4, spotlighting a fresh wave of romantic tension with the arrival of new girl Cheryl Blossom. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—inked by Rudy Lapick and lettered by Bill Yoshida—this story sees Betty welcoming Cheryl to Riverdale, only to watch the new girl quickly turn heads, spark jealousy, and leave Archie in a sticky situation. The fun escalates when Veronica takes offense, only to be swept off her feet by Cheryl’s brother Jason, while Jughead steps in with his legendary (if questionable) magic pin—cover by Harry Lucey, whose classic touch perfectly captures the moment.

Betty introduces new-girl-in-town Cheryl Blossom to Archie and Reggie. Cheryl immediately lets the guys know she is available for anything they might have in mind and lets Betty know that she is serious about it. Veronica catches Archie and Cheryl in a mildly compromising situation and is outraged until Jason Blossom arrives and sweeps her off her feet. Jughead arrives and uses his "magic pin that makes him irresistible to women" to save Archie from Cheryl. Cheryl and Jughead walk off arm in arm.
