☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Queen Bee," Professor Thimk and Orbi pull off a daring rescue of Cosmo during a chaotic stardust explosion, only to find themselves racing back to their rocket with a jammed steering mechanism—sending them hurtling toward Saturn. Written by Sy Reit and brought to life with crisp art by Bob White and inks by Terry Szenics, this 1980 adventure blends sci-fi mischief with the signature humor of the Archie universe. The cover, a vibrant showcase by Dan DeCarlo, captures the moment of high-stakes flight with his trademark flair.
Archie, inspired by the idea that graffiti counts as art, turns the streets of Riverdale into his own chaotic canvas—turning public walls into bold, cheeky declarations like "Reggie is a Rat" and "Reggie is Odoriferous." With every spray of his pen, he’s not just making mischief, he’s making a statement—though whether it’s about art, revenge, or just plain fun is up to the wall.
In "The Queen of Venus, Chapter Four: A Slap-Happy Ending!", Professor Thimk and Orbi pull off a chaotic rescue of Cosmo just as a stardust bomb explodes, sending them scrambling back to their rocket. With the escape in motion, a sudden jam in the steering mechanism sends them hurtling off course—straight toward Saturn.
In "Double Rocket Trouble," Katy dreams of becoming "Queen of Outer Space" after marrying Randy, but her royal fantasy takes a wild turn when K.O. and Gloria launch a playful revenge mission in a spaceship shaped like a boxing glove. The story delivers a delightfully absurd twist on romance and rivalry, all in four pages of classic 1980s humor.
In "Growing Pains," Jinx proudly declares she’s too old for naps—only to find that without her friends around, the afternoon feels strangely empty. Suddenly, being grown-up means missing out on the one thing that made playtime fun.
When the boys mock the girls for signing up for the backpacking survival course, they quickly learn that confidence isn’t the only skill needed to survive the wilderness—especially when the roles reverse and it’s the girls who end up leading the way.
