Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #106

In "Touch and Go," the Archies' big disco performance goes up in smoke when the venue burns down—literally. With their gig ruined, the band reunites with old friends Claude and Raul for an impromptu show in the Riverdale mall parking lot, turning a chaotic setback into an unexpected crowd-pleaser. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, this 2002 Double Digest tale captures the energy of a band finding their rhythm again, all while sparking a surprising shift in Mr. Lodge’s plans. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Henry Scarpelli perfectly captures the moment’s electric vibe.
