In "Friday Night Fever," Betty takes a nostalgic turn as she struggles to craft a scary story for a contest—until a simple suggestion from Polly sparks a memory of a childhood adventure with Archie. The duo’s daring shortcut through a haunted lane, full of eerie sights and whispered rumors, now offers the perfect inspiration. Written by Kathleen Webb and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by John Lowe, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, this issue captures the chill of memory and the thrill of the unknown. The cover, penciled by Goldberg and inked by Bob Smith, perfectly captures the mood.
