Determined to retrieve it, he must track down Granny Sage, the enigmatic resident of the Hockomock Swamps—though remembering her cryptic directions proves easier with Betty’s help than he expected.

In "What Are Friends For?", Little Archie’s obsession with fishing leads him to lose his father’s prized rod and reel in Weedum Pond—leaving him desperate to find it. The only clue lies with Granny Sage, the reclusive mystic of the Hockomock Swamps, but her instructions are too cryptic to recall without help. As he reluctantly reaches out to Betty, he discovers that friendship might just be the key to remembering what matters most.
When Fred tries to connect with Little Archie and the gang, he’s baffled by their slang and the music they love. Hoping to share something meaningful, he brings out his old sheet music from his youth—only to find his attempt at bonding might not go quite as planned.
When Little Archie and his friends crash-land on a mysterious island, they’re greeted by Mad Doctor Doom and Chester—old foes with a new, fiery scheme. With a metallic dragon at their disposal, the villains are plotting to strike Riverdale, and the gang must find a way to stop them before it’s too late.
In "Dog Goned," Little Jughead treats himself and Hot Dog Jr. to a breakfast at Pop Tate’s, but when he packs extra for lunch, the real adventure begins—because Hot Dog Jr. can’t wait to see what’s in the bag. A classic slice of kid-sized humor from the pages of Little Archie Comics Digest Magazine #21.
