☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Wheeler-Dealer," Archie faces a modern dilemma: Veronica’s relentless phone calls every ten minutes keep him on a tight leash, while Betty takes a more traditional approach to staying in touch. Written and illustrated by Al Hartley, with inks by Jon D'Agostino and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1969 classic captures teenage romance with a playful twist. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the lighthearted chaos.
In "Midnight Madness," Mr. Lodge’s calm evening shatters when he discovers Veronica isn’t home at midnight—only to panic further when he realizes Archie isn’t home either. With the night growing stranger by the minute, he races through Riverdale in a whirlwind of suspicion, convinced something wild must be afoot.
In "Loud and Clear," Archie’s phone never stops ringing—Veronica’s constant calls every ten minutes keep him on a tight leash, demanding updates on his every move. Meanwhile, Betty takes a different approach, reaching out with a handwritten note that says more than any call ever could.
