☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Way It Was," a traveling cloth salesman from Duluth steps in to gently challenge Betty, Veronica, and Jughead’s long-standing rivalry for Archie’s attention—only to find himself unexpectedly left out when the trio tries to give Archie the space he’s always craved. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with warm, expressive art by Stan Goldberg, this 1975 tale captures a quiet moment of reflection in Riverdale’s usual chaos. The cover, also by Goldberg with inks by Jon D'Agostino, perfectly frames the story’s bittersweet mood.
In "The Way It Was," a traveling cloth salesman from Duluth tries to teach Betty, Veronica, and Jughead the value of giving Archie some space—only to find himself unexpectedly heartbroken when they actually follow his advice. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story offers a gently humorous twist on the usual teen dynamics, all in eight pages of classic Archie charm.
In "Monkey Business," Archie finds himself in a whirlwind chase at a high society party when a mischievous trained monkey snatches Mrs. Van Posh's necklace, sending Archie tumbling through the event's opulent setting in a frantic bid to recover the stolen jewels. With a mix of slapstick timing and classic teen chaos, the story turns a glamorous soirée into a wild, acrobatic adventure.
