☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Rhyme Without Reason," Jughead’s latest obsession turns the entire school into a rhyming frenzy—everybody’s stuck in verse, from Archie to Mr. Weatherbee. When even the teachers can’t resist the rhythm, Betty and Veronica join forces for a bold plan: a head-slam to break the spell. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant, energetic art by Samm Schwartz, this classic 1987 digests issue features a delightfully absurd twist on the gang’s usual antics, all capped off with a timeless cover by Dan DeCarlo.
When Jughead starts speaking in rhyme, the whole school catches the bug—soon, everyone’s stuck in verse. Betty and Veronica join forces to end the poetic plague, and their only solution might just be a well-placed head smack.
Archie’s stuck shoveling a snow-covered driveway when he gets a brilliant (if wildly impractical) idea: heat the shovel on the grill. Before long, his friends arrive—and instead of shoveling, they end up turning the snowy yard into a spontaneous cook-out.
Archie’s morning commute takes a wild turn when a night of freezing rain forces him to wear a pair of spiked golf shoes to school—only to realize, too late, that he has no idea what to do once he actually arrives.
When the Archies’ gig hits a sonic snag, they call on Dilton to fix their sound system—only to find his troubleshooting sends music echoing through the Lodge mansion’s pipes, then spiraling through the city’s sewers, turning the whole town into an unplanned concert hall.
Jughead’s unexpected talent for basketball lands him on the varsity team, but with a crucial game looming, he’s fast asleep—no amount of shouting from his friends can rouse him.
In "Trail’s End," Miss Grundy’s stern reminder about Mr. Weatherbee’s intolerance for dirty floors sends the students into a frantic cleaning spree after a snowy day. With mop buckets in hand and a collective eye on the next culprit, they’re ready to take on the next mess—only to find it’s Mr. Weatherbee himself, caught in the act.
