☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Costume Calamity!", Alex ropes the Pussycats into an audition at Ghostly Estates, hoping for a big break—only to discover the "Count" is a real vampire, and the entire estate is a haunted haven of monsters and spectral oddities. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s classic art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this spooky adventure crackles with playful chills. Dan Parent’s cover captures the eerie fun perfectly.
Veronica and Betty uncover a forgotten trunk of 19th-century gowns while exploring their father’s newly bought mansion, only to find themselves mistaken for ghosts by a pair of bewildered locals. The eerie mix of old lace, dusty secrets, and unexpected attention sets a curious tone in this brief, atmospheric tale.
Betty and Veronica gear up for a spooky movie night, but when the lights go out, the boys seize the moment to turn the tables—literally. With a mix of playful pranks and classic mischief, the evening takes a twist neither girl saw coming.
When Betty starts crafting silk flowers as a new hobby, a simple misunderstanding sparks a playful rivalry between Archie and Adam, both convinced the other bought her an extravagant bouquet—though neither knows the truth behind the gift.
In "Dates and Fates," Archie’s attempt to impress at football practice takes a wild turn when Reggie’s prank goes hilariously awry—sending Archie tumbling onto the new school riding mower. The chaos that follows unfolds with all the awkward energy of a teen misstep, where every move feels like it could change everything.
In "Never Say Never," Betty Cooper takes a bold step to solve the theft of the Riverdale football team’s gear by going undercover with the Craigville Crunchettes, a spirited semi-pro women’s football team. With grit and a dash of charm, she navigates the challenges of blending in while staying one step ahead of the mystery.
Sabrina’s birthday plans hit a snag when her aunts gift her a broom instead of a car, leaving her mortified—until she reinvents the broom as a skateboarding rocket. With a little magic and a whole lot of grit, she’s soon carving through the streets, turning heads and earning her spot on the board.
In "The Escort," Veronica spins a wild theory that the mysterious monster haunting Riverdale High is actually Archie in disguise, leading to a hilariously awkward dance night where everyone dresses as monsters—especially when Archie agrees to be her date.
In "The Big Prize," Veronica enlists Betty’s help to pull off five quick costume changes at a Halloween party, all in hopes of catching the eye of a fashion designer and making her big break in modeling. With timing, style, and a little sisterly chaos, the duo races against the clock to turn the night into a runway show.
