☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Fun'-draising!!", Archie’s class tackles a futuristic assignment, and Veronica takes the lead with a high-tech twist—filming a mock space adventure at her father’s aerospace plant. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s classic art and Jim DeCarlo’s inks, this slice of 2020 Archie charm captures the kids’ creativity with a nostalgic yet fresh energy, all wrapped in Jeff Shultz’s vibrant cover.
Archie and Betty are stuck together at school during a cold snap, forced to share a classroom while quarantined. When Veronica sees her chance to join the cozy duo, she’s quick to fake a fever and claim her own spot in the isolation zone.
When the Pussycats step up to play a benefit concert for an animal protection group, their good intentions face a sneaky challenge—another band is determined to steal their spotlight, no matter the cost. With tension rising and nerves on edge, the girls must stay focused on their music and their mission.
When Josie and The Pussycats land a gig on a cruise line, they’re quick to notice the charming fitness director, Jeff. Determined to get closer to him, the trio signs up for every one of his classes—leading to some very sweaty, very awkward attempts at flirtation.
Betty finds herself in an unexpectedly chaotic night when she’s forced to share her room with her five-year-old cousins, Hot Dog, and Veronica’s prized cat, Pumpkin—two very different kinds of trouble in one small space. With bedtime rituals and feline antics colliding, it’s a night that’s bound to leave a lasting impression.
Betty and Veronica team up for a classroom experiment with a twist: they’re determined to launch the most outrageous fad imaginable, testing just how fast it can spread. With their usual flair for drama and style, the duo dives into the chaos of trend-making, turning heads and sparking reactions in ways they never expected.
In "Future Shock," Veronica channels her imagination into a bold video presentation, stepping into the role of an astronaut at her father's aerospace manufacturing plant. With a mix of ambition and curiosity, she enacts her vision of the future—where space travel feels within reach, and dreams take flight.
In "Vengeance Is Whose?", Veronica’s prank on Betty backfires when Betty quietly hints at retaliation, sending Veronica into a spiral of escalating paranoia. As the tension builds, Veronica scrambles to anticipate every possible revenge move—only to wonder if she’s imagining the whole thing.
