Archie Spotlight Digest: Archie 75th Anniversary Digest #7

In "Ace Place," Jo and the gang rally around Pop to save the Chok'lit Shoppe from closing, teaming up to refresh the shop with modern flair—because sometimes, the best way to keep tradition alive is to give it a little twist.

In "The Good, the Bad, and the Reggie," Archie and Reggie find themselves on opposite sides of the track, each working as a pit crew member for a top racer. When Reggie’s driver pressures him to sabotage Archie’s driver’s car, loyalty and friendship are put to the ultimate test.

In "Spook Spree," Ambrose tries to join Little Archie's West Side Warriors by paying a quarter, but the real test is proving a spooky house isn't haunted—no matter how much it creaks or how dark it gets.

In this lighthearted 2017 tale from the Archie 75th Anniversary Digest, Mr. Weatherbee—ever the nostalgic former athlete—tries to live out his high school glory days by turning Archie into Riverdale High’s next football star. His over-the-top drills leave Archie exhausted, but not exactly more skilled, as the real fun comes from the mismatch between the coach’s memories and the student’s reality.

In "The Tooth Fairy," Sabrina, Archie, and Jughead stumble upon a young boy stealing hubcaps to help his family, prompting Sabrina to use her magic to conjure a shoe shine box—giving the kid a honest way to earn some cash. The story blends humor and heart as the trio navigates the small-town charm of Riverdale with a touch of whimsy.

In "Generation Gasp," Betty tries out a bold new grunge look, but her parents misinterpret her ripped jeans and worn clothes as a sign she's ready to help paint the living room—handing her a brush before she’s even had a chance to explain. The story captures a quiet moment of teenage rebellion and parental misunderstanding, all in just five pages.
