Betty and Veronica Annual Digest Magazine #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Fighting Words," the Pussycats trade their usual Riverdale chaos for a cruise, only to find the ship’s nonstop activities are no vacation at all. Seeking peace, they check into an island hotel—just as a lively parade kicks off, turning their quiet getaway into something far more energetic. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1991 annual captures the trio’s charm with its signature blend of humor and whimsy. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Alison Flood, perfectly captures the island’s festive spirit.
In "Speed Demon," Archie gets a pair of magical shoes from a passing magician, instantly turning him into a blur of motion. But as he zips through Riverdale, every friend he passes—Jo, Betty, Veronica, even Mr. Lodge—pleads with him to slow down and appreciate the moment.
Archie tries to steal a moment with Veronica, but she’s all tied up with tennis lessons—until she agrees to an early morning birdwatching trip with him, since Betty’s joining. It’s a quiet, funny little moment in the morning light, where the usual rivalry between the girls takes a backseat to a shared, slightly awkward outing.
Jo and the Pussycats trade stage lights for spa towels, hoping for a quiet getaway—only to find themselves trapped in a high-energy weight loss bootcamp disguised as a retreat. With no time to rest and every minute packed with grueling routines, their vacation takes a turn they never saw coming.
Jo and the Pussycats trade their cruise ship chaos for a quiet island hotel—only to find the whole place buzzing with a surprise parade. With no peace in sight, their quest for relaxation hits a new twist as the island’s festivities roll right into their getaway.
