Written by Bob Bolling and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this lighthearted adventure unfolds with a twist that turns the school principal into an unlikely jazz hero—his trumpet, it turns out, is the real key to stopping the crime spree. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Henry Scarpelli captures the playful spirit of the story, all set in the classic world of Riverdale.
In "Movie Romance," Betty and Veronica keep running into Rob Morgan at the cinema, sparking Veronica’s interest. When she convinces Betty to make the introduction, the plan hits a snag—Rob’s girlfriend works at the ticket counter.
In "The Weaker Sex," Riverdale’s girls take a winter break from their usual antics to build a snowman—only to be caught off guard by a surprise snowball attack from their boyfriends. With a clever twist and Veronica’s trusty snowmobiles, the girls turn the tables in a frosty showdown of wits and winter warfare.
In "True Review," Betty tackles her latest assignment for the school paper with care—writing a review of Archie’s homemade Sherlock Holmes-style play. Torn between honesty and loyalty, she must find a way to be truthful without hurting her friend’s feelings.
In "The Captain Capitulates," Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon his old army captain’s hat and, swept up in nostalgia, begins enforcing school rules with military precision—only to face a shocking revelation when he discovers Miss Grundy once held the rank of major and technically outranks him.
Veronica’s crush on a charming but decidedly too-old teacher takes a sharp turn when she spots a new girl close to him—only to realize her scheme to distract the girl might have backfired in a way she never expected. The story unfolds with a mix of teenage drama and quiet surprise, as secrets about the new girl begin to surface.

In "It's Snow Art," Little Archie and the gang take on a snow sculpture challenge for Mr. Lodge’s party, but tensions rise fast when Reggi and Archie clash over creative control. What starts as a winter art project quickly melts into a chaotic snowball fight, turning the frosty yard into a battlefield of giggles and icy chaos.
In "Hit and Run," a high-speed chase through Riverdale takes a sudden turn when street racers nearly strike Little Betty—just as Little Archie leaps in to save her, using a heavy dictionary to take down one of the fleeing criminals. The story unfolds with quick tension and classic Archie-style chaos, all in a tight, punchy seven pages.
Veronica enlists swing dance lessons to outshine Betty at the big school dance, but her confidence wobbles when Betty sprains her ankle—only to find out Archie’s injured too.
In "Tall Story!", Betty takes a moment from coaching to help a seventh-grade basketball player who's struggling with being taller than the boys in her grade. Drawing from her own past, Betty shares how she once felt out of place in sixth grade—when she was the tallest in school, except for Moose.
In "Guess Who's Coming to Pop's?", Archie and Veronica catch wind that Betty’s invited a friend over to watch TV—only to discover it’s Dexter, the guy she interns with at the local TV station. As Betty and Dexter chat easily over popcorn, Veronica can’t help but admire his charm, while Archie finds himself oddly unsettled by the way they’re both so relaxed together.
Archie finds himself torn between a night of work and Reggie’s bird-themed costume party—until a last-minute delivery of fried chicken turns the tables. Dressed as a chicken, Archie makes a surprisingly perfect fit for the festivities, winging his way into the celebration with a crunch.
In "Tangled Web," Archie stumbles upon suspicious clues that suggest Riverdale’s beloved principal, Mr. Weatherbee, might be behind the string of gas station robberies — but the truth is far more surprising. Turns out, Mr. Weatherbee’s late-night escapades involve jazz, not crime, and when the real Roly-Poly Robber strikes, his trumpet becomes an unlikely hero.
Archie’s waiting by the phone for a call from Veronica, but endless sales pitches keep interrupting—until one wrong click has him hanging up on her mid-conversation.
When Veronica trades her entire wardrobe for a new line of designer outfits, she’s left stranded in just her everyday clothes after an airline strike cuts off her travel plans—leaving her looking less than glamorous at her own party. The moment becomes a test of confidence, style, and what really matters when appearances fall apart.
Betty goes all out to surprise Veronica with a special birthday gift—the earrings she'd been admiring—but when Veronica sees her and Archie in the jewelry store, she misreads the moment. In a playful twist, Veronica returns the favor by lending Betty the very same dress she'll wear at the unveiling of her family's portrait. Just as Betty feels exposed, a mysterious cowboy appears to offer quiet reassurance.
Betty and Veronica are torn between school and their favorite soap opera, caught in a dilemma when the show’s most dramatic episode airs during class. With clever distractions and quick thinking, they manage to catch every twist on hidden screens around the school, determined not to miss a single moment of the legendary Brad and Brittanny breakup.
