☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Tour," Betty’s chance encounter with a light sprinkle sparks an unexpected fashion moment at school, drawing compliments her friend is suddenly all too happy to receive. Jealous of the attention, Veronica takes a dramatic turn the next day—determined to match Betty’s look by braving a downpour, with results that may or may not be as charming as she hoped. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Alison Flood’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this Double Digest tale captures the playful rivalry and everyday drama of Riverdale’s most iconic teens. The cover by Dan Parent and Jim Amash perfectly frames the story’s lighthearted, rain-soaked charm.
Veronica sets a clever trap by slipping a travel brochure for Mount Royal into Betty’s path, hoping to lure her away so she can enjoy a ski trip to Snow Valley with the gang—uninterrupted. But Betty’s not so easily fooled, and the real vacation plans are about to get a whole lot more complicated.
In "What Does It Matter?", Archie is surprised when Mr. Weatherbee mistakes the snow he shoveled into a pile for a sculpture, leading Archie to wonder if he might actually have a hidden artistic side—though whether it's talent or just a lucky pile remains to be seen.
In "Weather Vain," Betty’s chance encounter with a light sprinkle earns her unexpected praise from classmates for looking cute in the rain, sparking a playful rivalry. Jealous of the attention, Veronica takes it to the extreme the next day, braving a downpour just to match Betty’s moment in the spotlight.
In "Call of the Wild," Veronica equips Archie with a pager to keep track of him, sparking a playful game of surveillance. Jughead, ever the quiet observer, quietly takes the device and hands Veronica a replacement—turning the tables in a lighthearted test of who’s really watching whom.
