Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1977 Laugh Comics Digest Magazine #12 is a classic slice of Archie-style mischief. Cover by Dan DeCarlo.
When Veronica gives Betty a cursed Egyptian ruby ring out of jealousy over Archie taking her on a birthday date, the prank backfires in ways she never expected—because suddenly, every misfortune seems to follow her instead. The ring’s dark magic turns the tables in a hilarious, unpredictable way, leaving Veronica tangled in a whirlwind of bad luck she can’t shake.
When the Pussycats choose to play at a public clambake instead of Alexandra’s private beach, she’s furious—especially when the event gets rained out. In a playful twist of spite, she invites everyone to her family’s secluded island, hoping to teach them a lesson, but the fun quickly spirals into something neither she nor the girls expected.
In "Stars in Her Eyes," Miss Grundy pins her hopes on a school performance by the vaudeville duo Phil and Bill, convinced her horoscope promises a mysterious, dark-haired stranger named Bill. When the act takes the stage, her romantic expectations take a wild turn—Bill is no human, but a surprisingly talented chimp.
In "Canine Cupid," a clever dog named Rebel tries to mend the rift between two teens, Bingo and Samantha, whose romance is on hold due to a long-standing family feud. With a mix of mischief and heart, Rebel sets out to reunite them—no matter the chaos that might follow.
In "The Tooth Fairy," Sabrina, Archie, and Jughead stumble upon a struggling boy stealing hubcaps to help his family, prompting Sabrina to use her magic to conjure a shoe shine box—giving the kid a chance to earn honest money instead. The story blends humor and heart as the trio’s unexpected intervention sets off a small, whimsical chain of events.
In "Mortar Madness," the gang finds themselves trapped in the Lodge pool after the top edges are freshly cemented, leaving only the diving board as their entry point. With no easy way out, they’ll need to work together—and maybe think a little outside the concrete—to escape the splashy predicament.
