Best of Archie Comics #1
"Prom Pranks" delivers a classic Archie-style rom-com whirlwind in this 2016 anthology standout, spotlighting the arrival of new girl Cheryl Blossom and the chaos she brings to Riverdale’s usual high school dynamics. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Jimmy DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, the story captures the playful tension of teenage flirtation and rivalry. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly sets the tone for a lighthearted, mischievous tale where even Jughead’s legendary pin might not be enough to keep things under control.

Betty introduces new-girl-in-town Cheryl Blossom to Archie and Reggie. Cheryl immediately lets the guys know she is available for anything they might have in mind and lets Betty know that she is serious about it. Veronica catches Archie and Cheryl in a mildly compromising situation and is outraged until Jason Blossom arrives and sweeps her off her feet. Jughead arrives and uses his "magic pin that makes him irresistible to women" to save Archie from Cheryl. Cheryl and Jughead walk off arm in arm.
