☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Hair Curling," the annual sock hop gets chaotic when the girls’ dating game goes hilariously awry—Reggie’s plan to pick Veronica backfires when he draws Midge’s sock instead, sending him to the hospital and kicking off a chain of absurd misadventures. Tom Moore’s lively art brings the classic Archie antics to life, while Dan DeCarlo’s cover captures the zany energy of the dance floor.
In "House Broken!", Li'l Jinx spills the beans to Mrs. Blabbit about being forced to clean her dad’s house—complete with moving furniture—only for Mrs. Blabbit to take the matter far too seriously, unaware the whole ordeal took place in a dollhouse. The misunderstanding spirals in classic 1978 humor, with Jo and the usual antics taking center stage.
Archie’s assigned to trace his family tree for school, but when Veronica drags him to the Lodge vault, he stumbles upon more than just names and dates—hidden secrets from generations past begin to surface. What starts as a simple assignment quickly turns into a discovery that reshapes everything he thought he knew about his own history.
Archie and Reggie are stunned when Jughead takes home the "Most Handsome" title in the school popularity contest—only to discover he may have rigged the vote by stuffing the ballot box to get into the winners' banquet.
In "Lucky Heel," the annual sock hop gets chaotic when girls’ names are tucked into numbered socks and drawn from a boot to pick dance partners. Reggie, aiming for Veronica, ends up with Midge’s sock—and the wrong date leads to a slapstick showdown that leaves Moose in the hospital.
In "Dancing Demon," Little Archie is reluctantly dragged to dance class, where his usual antics threaten to derail the whole team. When Betty tries to get him moving for the class dance contest, she resorts to a classic prank—just a little itching powder down his shirt.
In "The Falcon's Claw," Josie picks up a mysterious falcon claw pendant at a garage sale, only to be haunted by terrifying dreams. When the nightmare leads her and the gang to an eerie old mansion, they’re suddenly confronted by a swarm of ghostly, otherworldly creatures.
In "Germ Warfare," a single dollar bill on the sidewalk sets off a hilarious standoff between Archie and Veronica, each convinced the other is being ridiculous—Archie eager to claim the cash, Veronica horrified at the thought of touching something so dirty. Written with classic teen humor, the story turns a simple moment into a playful battle of wits and hygiene, capturing the everyday antics that make the Archie universe so enduring.
