☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Stroke of Luck!", Archie finds himself in a pants-pulling predicament when Jughead volunteers to take his only pair to the cleaners—leaving Archie scrambling to borrow gym clothes from different boys throughout the school day. As he cycles through increasingly mismatched and ill-fitting outfits, Miss Grundy takes note of the chaos, and her concerns soon reach Mr. Weatherbee. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, this lighthearted adventure captures the classic humor of the Archie universe, with a cover by Harry Lucey.
Archie and Jughead take on a simple job—replacing the glass in Mr. Weatherbee’s office window—but every time they think they’ve got it right, something goes wrong. As the repairs keep getting undone, the duo finds themselves caught in a chain of increasingly absurd mishaps.
In "Final Test!", Archie’s disastrous tour of Mr. Lodge’s newly acquired toy factory quickly spirals as his clumsy hands turn every exhibit into chaos—much to Veronica’s exasperation and Mr. Lodge’s growing disbelief. With every step, the line between a factory tour and a full-scale meltdown blurs.
In "Show Biz," Archie, newly in charge of directing the school play, finds himself caught between Betty and Veronica—both determined to land the lead role. To keep the peace (and his sanity), he devises a pie-filled rehearsal scheme that might just backfire spectacularly.
Betty and Veronica are furious when Archie once again strings them both along—only to rethink their anger when they spot him with Jughead’s surprisingly glamorous cousin. The moment turns their rivalry into a sudden, competitive scramble to win him back, all while trying to outdo each other in the most absurd ways.
When Mr. Lodge accidentally overhears Veronica and Archie discussing an elopement—unaware they’re just rehearsing lines for a school play—he springs into action, leading to a series of escalating misunderstandings that land both Archie and himself in police custody. Only when Veronica steps in to clear the confusion does the situation resolve, leaving Mr. Lodge with a surprising souvenir: 17 policeman’s ball tickets, which he bought from the chief himself.
When Betty sends Archie’s torn plaid coat to a friend for repairs, the simple act sets off a chain of mishaps that leaves Veronica furious—especially after the coat’s return leads to a humiliating accident. Now determined to get even, Veronica is on a mission to track down the mysterious owner of the coat, unaware of just how tangled the truth really is.
Archie finds himself in a pants-shaped predicament when he sits on a freshly painted stool—right after Jughead finishes it. To avoid missing class, he must borrow gym shorts from different boys, one after another, leading to a chaotic parade of ill-fitting pants. Miss Grundy takes one look at Archie’s ever-changing wardrobe and sends a report to Mr. Weatherbee.
In "Island Fun," Mr. Lodge’s latest extravagant whim—transforming his backyard into a tropical paradise with a fake island and palm trees—sparks a chain reaction. Archie gets called away from a date with Betty, who quickly catches on and isn’t pleased when she shows up to find him already at the Lodge’s pool.
Archie’s knack for disaster is on full display in this hilarious six-page tale, where every step he takes seems to trigger a new mishap. With Veronica and Reggie fleeing the chaos, they’re still no match for Archie’s accidental mayhem—especially when a rogue trash can lid finds its way to Reggie’s head.
When Archie stumbles upon a mysterious piece of jewelry while trying to keep up with Reggie’s latest stunt, he hands it to Veronica with the best intentions—unaware it’s a loose thread in a larger, far more dangerous scheme. As the teens navigate the unexpected ripple of their find, secrets start to glitter in ways no one saw coming.
Archie, convinced he’s the only one who can teach Veronica how to ski, takes matters into his own hands after overhearing her plan to take lessons from Rex Gorden—only to quickly realize that his confidence might be outpacing his skills.
Archie faces a double dilemma on his ski vacation: enduring awkward lessons and watching his crush, Veronica, flirt with the gym-toned ski instructor. With every slide down the slope, he wonders if the cold mountain air or his own jealousy is freezing him solid.
