☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Summer Simmer," Prince James, betrayed by his scheming brother Richard in a past life, finds a second chance during World War II, where he channels his legacy into a new mission of justice. Written by Paul Castiglia and illustrated by Chris Allan with inks by Bob Wiacek, this story blends historical drama with a touch of the supernatural, all wrapped in a cover by Dan Parent and Rich Koslowski.
In "The Disorganizer," Veronica heads home from the beach in her bikini, eager to reunite with Jo for a card game, only to find her plans derailed by a flat tire in downtown. Her unexpected stop ignites a chaotic scene when she inadvertently interrupts a protest targeting "sinful swimsuits," sending ripples through the crowd.
In "Cover Story," a brief but heartfelt moment at the beach brings Betty and Veronica together again after a heated argument. When Veronica accidentally loses her bikini top while swimming, Betty steps in to help—turning a tense scene into a quiet act of friendship.
In "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid," Veronica takes on her father's challenge to do housework for a set time, hoping to understand her maids' daily grind—only to find her efforts unintentionally disrupt a crucial dinner with a high-stakes business partner. The story unfolds with the kind of mischievous charm and household chaos that makes the Lodge household so delightfully unpredictable.
When Archie gets picked for a photoshoot to promote summer school, he can't stop showing off—until Betty and Veronica decide it's time to remind him who’s really in charge. With a mix of playful sabotage and clever timing, the two girls set out to bring Archie back down to earth, one misstep at a time.
In "Beach Daze!", Archie tries to enjoy a quiet day at the shore, but he's constantly interrupted by Fangs Fogarty's mischievous nephews. When the chaos reaches a peak, Veronica steps in with a calm, no-nonsense solution—talking to Mrs. Fogarty about the trouble.
When Polly Cooper and her date join the crowd outside the hotel where the trendy band The Blemishes are staying, little Betty has a different mission—she’s determined to meet Poppy Blemish’s mysterious Burmese cat, even if it means slipping past the throngs of fans.
When a striking new skateboarder takes over deliveries at the local pizzeria, Archie and the gang find themselves ditching their usual hangouts—no more dates, no more mischief—just a steady stream of pepperoni and a mystery on wheels. Jo, the new delivery girl, rides into town with a quiet confidence that’s hard to ignore, turning every order into an unexpected moment.
In "Surfing Saga," Betty and Veronica hit the waves with board in hand, but Veronica’s focus is less on the surf and more on making an impression on Roger, the charming lifeguard. With sun, sand, and salty waves in the air, the girls trade laughs and rivalry as they chase the perfect ride—though only one of them has her eyes on more than just the horizon.
In "The Race," Archie, Betty, and Dilton team up with Veronica, Moose, and Reggie for a high-stakes yacht race, where fast boats and sharper wits collide. Reggie’s clever rulebook tactics give him an edge—until the fine print starts working against him in ways he didn’t expect.
