☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Junk Man Cometh," Mr. Weatherbee’s new hairpiece becomes the talk of Riverdale when the teachers can’t stop laughing—so Archie steps in to save the day by orchestrating a little admiration from the girls. But when the principal realizes how many of them are smitten, he’s forced to reconsider the whole situation. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Jim DeCarlo and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted tale features a memorable cover by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith.
Archie and the gang get caught in a classroom caper when Mr. Weatherbee’s new hairpiece becomes the talk of the school—much to his embarrassment. With a little help from Veronica and Betty, Archie tries to turn the tide by staging a dramatic show of admiration, but even the most well-intentioned plan can backfire when the principal realizes the situation is getting out of hand.
Betty and Veronica stumble upon a surprising connection between Archie’s current high school life and Mr. Weatherbee’s past—when they uncover some uncanny parallels in the principal’s senior yearbook. As they flip through the pages, the girls can’t help but wonder if history is quietly repeating itself, all while Archie remains blissfully unaware.
Josie surprises Albert with a guitar for his birthday, hoping it’ll be a gift he’ll cherish. But Albert quickly becomes obsessed, spending every moment strumming and singing—leaving Josie wondering if her gift has stolen his attention from her.
Josie finds herself caught between Alex’s ambitious guitar performance and his sister Alexandra’s sudden interest in Albert, as rivalry and romance tangle in the halls of the elite. With Alex determined to prove he’s more than just a rich boy with a guitar, and Alexandra stepping in with her own plans, the stakes rise in this spirited, stylish chapter.
In "Moist Minstrel Chapter 3," Alexandra Cabot pulls out all the stops to win Albert’s attention, outfitting him in a Beatles-inspired look and pushing him into the spotlight as a folk singing sensation—much to Josie’s surprise and Melody’s amusement. As the music swirls and the rivalry heats up, old friendships are tested and new tensions rise, all under the watchful eyes of Pepper and a very confused Albert.
