In "Royal Pain," Riverdale High's new lost and found box becomes the unexpected center of attention when Betty and Veronica catch sight of the mysteriously handsome student running it—prompting them to deliberately misplace items just to keep returning. Written by Mike Pellowski and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils and inks by DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida—this 1991 gem captures the classic teen drama with a playful, charming twist. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the lighthearted intrigue of the moment.

In "Royal Pain," Betty and Veronica go to extreme lengths—disguising themselves as maids—to sneak into the hotel room of their idol, the elusive pop star King, after missing out on his sold-out concert. With their usual rivalry momentarily set aside, the duo’s plan hinges on charm, quick thinking, and the hope that fame doesn’t come with a filter.

In "Success Secret," Betty and Veronica grow fed up with Archie, Reggie, and Jughead’s constant interruptions, so they decide to spend time with Arnold—quiet, thoughtful Arnold—instead. The shift in dynamics throws the usual group dynamic into unexpected territory, as the girls discover a different kind of company in the usually overlooked boy.
