In "The Hooded Horror of Haunted Hill," Josie and the Pussycats venture to the Cabots' mountain retreat, where a mysterious hooded figure haunts the woods, weeping and wailing. As the gang investigates an old tunnel rumored to hold gold, they’re gripped by a strange fever—only to be confronted once more by the ghostly prospector from a century past. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Jim DeCarlo and colors by Barry Grossman, the story unfolds with eerie charm and classic Archie suspense. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Mario Acquaviva, captures the haunting mood perfectly.

In "The Hooded Horror of Haunted Hill," Jo and the gang spend a restless night at the Cabots' mountain cabin, where a mournful hooded figure haunts the woods—whispered to be a prospector cursed by his own greed a century prior. When they uncover a hidden tunnel filled with gold, their resolve wavers, but the ghostly figure returns to remind them that some treasures are better left buried.

In "The Movement," Valerie takes a thoughtful turn to set the record straight when she gathers the boys to clarify what women's liberation truly means—equality, not dominance. Using a playful yet pointed hypothetical, she asks them to picture Alan M. married to Josie, insisting she stay home while he bears all the financial burden, and gently shows how such a setup would only lead to exhaustion and imbalance.
