☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Peace and Harm-ony!", Hilda’s skepticism about her doctor’s diagnosis leads her on a wildly unexpected journey—literally shrinking down to fly size to eavesdrop on his true thoughts. But when she accidentally forgets how to change back, her quest for answers takes a surprising turn. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, inks by Jon D'Agostino, and colors by Barry Grossman, this quirky tale from the Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest series features a cover by Dan Parent.
In "Suspicious," Betty asks Veronica for help tutoring French students, but Veronica quickly grows wary—suspicious that this favor is just a clever ruse to spend more time with Archie. The familiar dynamic between the two friends takes a playful turn as trust is tested and secrets simmer beneath the surface.
In "Keys to Adventure," Veronica’s skepticism toward her father’s new caretaker in Florida turns when he unexpectedly rescues her from a shark encounter—leaving her to wonder if first impressions were wrong.
Betty stumbles upon a childhood favorite in the library’s children’s section—a book about a rabbit that vanishes without a trace. The moment she opens it, she’s drawn into a whimsical mystery that feels just a little too real.
Betty and Veronica try to spend an afternoon together, but soon realize their favorite activities don’t line up — and that’s just the start of their mismatched day. With a mix of playful tension and genuine connection, two best friends navigate the small but sticky moments that test their friendship.
When her doctor dismisses her concerns, Hilda takes a literal fly on the wall approach—literally—transforming into a fly to eavesdrop on his true thoughts. Now trapped in insect form and stranded in her own home, she must figure out how to change back before her new perspective becomes permanent.
In "Nothing to Sneeze At," Archie finds himself drawn to Veronica’s bold fashion choices as she flaunts her style in chilly weather, prompting Betty to take a surprising cue and match her friend’s daring wardrobe—just to see what happens.
