☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Wild Western Ways," Betty and Veronica find themselves in a playful rivalry when a photo shoot for Sportsman magazine sparks a rivalry over who’s the better swimmer. With Veronica using her father’s connections to get Betty hired as a lifeguard, the girls’ competition takes a surprising turn when Veronica ends up needing a rescue—leading to an unexpected moment that could change everything. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this Double Digest tale captures the classic charm of Archie’s teen antics. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Jon D’Agostino perfectly frames the summer heat and high-stakes friendship.
In "The Kindest Cut," Archie tries to help Betty by mowing her lawn but accidentally borrows Mr. Lodge’s mower—only to crash through gardens, lose the machine in a creek, and leave a trail of chaos in his wake. With no way to fix the damage, he’s left scrambling to make things right before anyone finds out.
In "Cover Girls," Betty and Veronica find themselves in a playful rivalry when photographers consider using either of their swimsuit photos for the cover of Sportsman magazine. Veronica, determined to be the sole choice, uses her father’s influence to get Betty hired as a lifeguard—only for a jet ski mishap to turn the tables and lead to an unexpected moment that changes everything.
In "Surfing Saga," Betty and Veronica trade the town for the waves, trading gossip for sun-soaked surf sessions. Veronica’s focus stays fixed on impressing Roger, the effortlessly cool lifeguard, while Betty’s caught between the thrill of the tide and the quiet joy of the moment.
In "Barely Covered," Betty decides to sunbathe in her backyard, unaware that Archie misinterprets the scene—thinking she's sunbathing without clothes. His well-intentioned attempt to shield her modesty leads to a series of awkward, humorous moments as he tries to protect her honor without peeking.
In "Run for Fun," Reggie ropes Veronica into stretching her curfew with a last-minute adventure, setting off a chain of mischievous plans. Archie, trying to help, accidentally stumbles into the chaos—just in time to deliver a message that might just change everything.
Betty’s back with her ice cream novelties, but the usual crowd isn’t cutting it. When her small-town sales fall short, she sets her sights on a new kind of customer—ones who might just pay more than a few dollars for a sweet treat.
