☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Mind Games," Alex’s latest scheme to win Josie back takes a bizarre turn when he pays Clyde Didit to write a song about himself—only to misinterpret the satire as flattery. As Alex lavishes attention and money on the song, turning it into a local sensation, Josie grows distant and Alexandra worries her own wealth won’t matter if Clyde becomes the star. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Bill Yoshida, this quirky tale of ego, misunderstanding, and musical misfires comes to life on a cover by Jeff Shultz and Bob Smith.
In "The Agent," Jughead Jones is reluctantly dragged to a sorority house to schedule a gig for The Archies—his least favorite kind of task, and a true ordeal for a guy who claims to hate girls. With Archie, Reggie, and Veronica watching from the sidelines, Jughead must navigate the social maze of sorority life, all while trying to keep his cool and avoid any accidental flirtations.
Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Reggie each receive a mysterious phone call claiming their most precious possession is in danger—leaving them scrambling to protect what they hold dear, all while trying to figure out who’s behind the ominous message.
In "Song of Love," Alex Cabot III tries to win Josie’s heart by commissioning Clyde Didit to write a song—only to misinterpret the lyrics as a flattering ode to his own greatness. As Alex spends his fortune turning the track into a sensation, Josie grows distant, sensing his obsession with the song over her, while Alexandra Cabot watches anxiously, fearing she’ll lose her chance to impress him if Clyde becomes rich.
When Jughead Jones causes a mess on his way to get ice cream, Archie Andrews ends up paying the price—because being a friend means taking the fall. But when Archie later gets caught in a prank that lands him in Mr. Lodge’s crosshairs, Jughead finds himself on the receiving end of the same wrath, proving that even the sweetest friendships come with a few bumps in the road.
Betty Cooper drifts off after reading nursery rhymes to the twins she's babysitting, only to wake in a whimsical dream where her friends twist classic rhymes into chaotic, playful chaos. From Archie and Veronica reciting "Hey Diddle Diddle" with a cow that’s definitely not a cow, to Jughead and Moose turning "Jack and Jill" into a pie-fueled race, every familiar face gets a silly, surreal spin.
Archie Andrews wakes up early after a nightmare about being late for school, only to panic when he remembers he’s supposed to be at school early for a field trip. With time running out and his usual last-minute chaos looming, he races through the morning with help—and hindrance—from his parents, teachers, and even the school’s eccentric staff.
In "If Teen Agers Ran the Airlines!", Jughead Jones, Veronica Lodge, Archie Andrews, and Betty Cooper take over an airline with a wildly unorthodox vision—complete with pilot DJs spinning tunes mid-flight, bowling lanes in the center aisle, and uniforms that scream "teen trendsetter." The result is a chaotic, hilarious flight where teenage priorities reign supreme, and safety regulations take a backseat to style.
In "If Teen-Agers Ran the U.N.!", Archie Andrews imagines a wild, whimsical world where teenagers take over the United Nations—turning the building into a giant musical note, rebranding the Girl Guide uniform with a rock-star twist, and launching a whole new lineup of international agencies. With Veronica and Jughead joining in on the chaos, the story hilariously reimagines global diplomacy through the lens of teenage creativity and irreverence.
