Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s classic art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this fun-filled tale captures the charm of Riverdale’s most iconic duo. The cover by Jeff Shultz captures the whimsical spirit of the story with a playful, retro flair.
Betty and Veronica turn Miss Grundy’s discarded vintage haul into a stylish sensation, transforming the mansion into a retro haven for a nostalgia-packed party that’s equal parts fashion show and friendship experiment. With a flair for thrift and a knack for drama, the duo prove that even forgotten clothes can have a second life—especially when the whole town’s watching.
In "Down Memory Lane," Betty reflects on old mementos from her room, each one tied to a bittersweet memory of moments she shared with Archie—moments that always ended with him choosing Veronica. The story captures a quiet, nostalgic moment as Betty navigates the past, where every trinket holds a whisper of what might have been.
In "A Helping Hand," Archie and Veronica skip their date to help their parents tend to their gardens, leaving Betty to step in. When Archie kisses her in thanks, Betty’s sudden crush throws her into a flustered frenzy—her well-intentioned efforts end up turning both gardens into chaotic messes.
In "The Victory," Betty’s swim coach, Clayton, teams up with Veronica, Archie, and Jughead to stir up some anger in Betty before the big Swim Meet—after learning that her competitive edge kicks in when she’s furious. With a mix of playful sabotage and clever timing, the friends set out to push her buttons, hoping to turn her rage into victory.
In "A Fine Day," the student council cracks down on school fights by imposing a one-dollar fine, turning discipline into a surprisingly profitable scheme. Reggie, ever the opportunist, sees a golden chance to profit from the new rule—just as the school’s quiet chaos begins to spiral in unexpected ways.
In "Wedded Blitz," Betty’s wedding-day bouquet leads her straight to Pop’s, where she promptly launches a series of playful, pointed marriage hints at Archie—only for the ever-unflappable teen to miss every one. The moment crackles with familiar charm, as Betty’s bold hopes meet Archie’s blissful obliviousness in a quiet, comic collision of feelings.
Veronica’s furious when Archie cancels their date to spend time with Cheryl Blossom, so she sets out to figure out what she has that Cheryl doesn’t—just to prove she’s the better choice. With a mix of vanity, clever tactics, and a dash of teenage drama, she dives into a surprisingly intense personal showdown.
