George Frese brings the playful rivalry to life with expressive art, while Dan Parent and Bob Smith deliver a classic, nostalgic cover.
In "Serious Business," Betty convinces Veronica to join her for a book signing with an author who once sailed solo across the Atlantic. As they wait in line, the two girls trade playful stories about the kinds of adventures they’d each have if they were out on the open sea—Betty imagining rugged survival, Veronica dreaming of luxury aboard her father’s yacht.
In "A Haunting We Will Go," Sabrina and her friends spend a night in an old haunted house, where they're soon approached by two ghosts seeking her help to find a new place to stay. With a mix of spooky charm and teenage wit, the story unfolds as Sabrina navigates the supernatural request, all while keeping her cool in the eerie setting.
In "What's It All About?", Betty and Veronica attend the wedding of an old classmate, where Betty’s focus on the bride’s big day is constantly tested by Veronica’s tendency to steer the conversation back to herself—leading to a series of lighthearted, well-meaning clashes that keep the tone playful and the friendship front and center.
Betty plans to surprise Archie with a professional photo for his birthday, but Veronica catches wind and ups the ante with a much larger portrait of herself. The sympathetic photographer devises a clever solution that gives Betty the final, satisfying edge.
In "Sea Sore Affair," Mr. Lodge makes a rare effort to connect with Archie and Jughead, prompted by Veronica's gentle nudge. As the trio heads to the beach, old tensions bubble up in unexpected ways—especially when a shared mishap at the shore forces them to navigate a day of awkward camaraderie.
When Mr. Lodge’s aunt asks him to clear out her Hawaiian home, Betty and Veronica stumble upon a surprising cache of rare collectibles hidden among the clutter—turning a simple errand into a mystery worth chasing.
Betty’s already bracing for another chore when Archie drops a mysterious hint that he has something to ask her later—her mind immediately jumps to more unpaid labor, but the real surprise might be just around the corner.
