☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Case of the Malted Falcon!", Archie and the gang try to cheer up Mrs. Andrews, who’s feeling left out after Mr. Andrews misses her birthday due to a business trip. When Archie’s well-meaning efforts only highlight her age, the real twist comes when Mr. Andrews makes a surprise return—just in time to turn the day around. Written by Angelo DeCesare and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Bob Smith and colors by Barry Grossman, this charming 2006 digests tale captures the heart of Riverdale with a touch of humor and warmth. The cover, by Fernando Ruiz and Jon D'Agostino, perfectly captures the lighthearted mystery vibe.
In "All About Brandy," Veronica Lodge takes on the role of mentor to her new, shy neighbor, Brandy Branson, eager to show her the ropes of Riverdale’s social scene. But as Brandy absorbs every tip with surprising flair, Veronica finds herself outshone—just as the spotlight starts to feel a little too warm.
Archie tries to cheer up his mom, Mary, after her husband Fred misses her birthday, but her attempts to join in teen hangouts only make her feel out of place. When even Archie’s efforts backfire, the family’s quiet moment is suddenly upended by a surprise return—Fred, who rushes home early to make things right.
Victor Gee, editor of Teen Comics, nudges Chuck Clayton to draw inspiration from real life when crafting his superhero lineup—and Chuck takes the advice to heart, turning his friends into costumed crusaders. With Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, and even himself in the spotlight, the line between Riverdale’s everyday antics and comic book drama blurs in this playful, six-page spoof.
