☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects classic Archie stories from the legendary Dan DeCarlo, showcasing his iconic artwork and humorous storytelling from the 1960s through the 1990s. Featuring tales of Archie, Betty, Veronica, and the Riverdale gang, it highlights DeCarlo's signature style that defined the look of the characters for decades.
"Happy Hallucination" brings together the whimsical art of Dan DeCarlo and the sharp storytelling of George Gladir in a standout issue from Archie: The Best of Dan DeCarlo #4. Meet Sabrina, a stylish teen witch navigating high school with a twist—her magic comes with strict rules, including the surprising consequence that love might cost her her powers. The cover by Dan DeCarlo captures her mischievous charm perfectly.
In "Chicken," Archie’s nighttime fright during a monster movie takes a surprising turn when Veronica teases him for clinging to her—only for Betty to quietly reveal he’d done the exact same thing the night before. The story captures a lighthearted moment of rivalry and shared vulnerability, with the usual Archie gang dynamics playing out in a simple, sweetly awkward scene.
Archie’s been doodling "AA" and "TW" everywhere, sparking a mystery that has Betty and Veronica on the hunt to uncover who "TW" really is—because if it’s not Archie’s usual love triangle, then something’s definitely off.
In "Gorgeous Leader," Jo and Melody enlist a whirlwind of charm to pull off a surprise birthday plan for Pepper—by summoning a legion of swooning boys who obey Melody’s every command. With Pepper distracted by their relentless attention, the girls hope to pull off their secret plans, but the chaos of their scheme might just be harder to control than they expected.
When Melody finds out a boy doesn’t notice her because he’s blind without his glasses, she’s quick to step in—only to find herself drawn to his quiet strength. As their connection grows, a pair of intimidating bullies suddenly target the shy, bespectacled boy, putting their new bond to the test.
In "Rebellion," Josie finds herself at odds with Albert, sparking a bold decision: she and her friends launch a spirited uprising against the men of Riverdale. What follows is a whirlwind of playful chaos as the town’s men suddenly find themselves on the receiving end of a well-organized, if exaggerated, feminist protest.
In "Country Confusion," Josie and Albert take a simple drive through the countryside, only to find themselves tangled in a web of cleverly disguised electronic traps—each one a playful yet perilous twist from Alex and Alexandra, who have their sights set on reuniting the pair in their own uniquely chaotic way.
In "Shoe Shoe Baby," Josie, Melody, and Pepper embrace a bold new trend by going barefoot—much to the dismay of the ever-stodgy Albert. When Mr. Tuttle steps in to restore order, the trio reluctantly trade their bare feet for shoes, pairing them with their signature miniskirts.
Sabrina, a stylish teen witch with a flair for mischief, navigates high school with a magical twist—her daily routine includes casting playful hexes on classmates. With a strict code to follow, she’s bound by rules that forbid crying, sinking in water, and, most dangerously, falling in love—because romance could cost her her powers.
Sabrina’s latest hexing mission takes a surprising turn when she’s sent to break up Wanda DeMoola’s romance with Hal Flipp—only to discover Wanda is a witch, too. Now, with spells and potions flying, Sabrina must outwit a rival who’s just as skilled in the magical arts.
