☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Fashion Fatigue," Betty stumbles into a whirlwind when an ancient ring from the mysterious country of Tangapoon—recently acquired by Mr. Lodge—magically sticks to her finger, turning her into an unexpected focal point in a high-stakes cultural clash. Written by Bob Bolling and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Mark Brewer, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest tale blends quirky Archie charm with a touch of global intrigue. The cover, by Dan Parent, captures the moment perfectly.
In "Inner Voices," Betty and Veronica trade subtle barbs at the mall, each secretly envious of the other’s seemingly effortless charm and confidence. Archie, ever the well-meaning mediator, steps in—only to find himself caught in the crossfire of teenage rivalry.
Betty stumbles into an unexpected adventure when an ancient ring from Tangapoon—among dozens recently acquired by Mr. Lodge—gets stuck on her finger. Now she’s the unlikely focus of a determined group of radicals intent on reclaiming the artifact, turning a quiet day into a high-stakes chase across familiar territory.
In "Preferential Treatment!", Betty and Veronica hit the upscale Bon Bon department store for a shoe shopping spree—only to find the sales staff lavishing attention on Betty, convinced she’s the elusive mystery shopper. The girls’ day takes a delightfully awkward turn as Betty’s unexpected celebrity status leads to a whirlwind of pampering, leaving Veronica both amused and oddly sidelined.
In "Sale Tale," Betty teams up with her neighbor to clear out her attic, uncovering a hidden treasure of vintage dolls. What starts as a simple spring cleaning leads to an unexpected opportunity that could help her neighbor finally reunite with her daughter.
Sabrina watches in quiet awe as an ordinary girl transforms a bully into a kinder person—using nothing but love—after Della bans her from using magic to teach the boy a lesson. The moment sparks a new kind of magic in Sabrina, one that makes her question whether kindness, not spells, might be the real power.
Veronica reluctantly steps in to baby-sit for a sick Betty, only to quickly realize she’s in over her head with two five-year-old future terrorists. With chaos erupting and no time to spare, she’ll need more than just patience to keep them from taking over the house.
