☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Knight to Remember," Archie stumbles into a mystery during a jog through Pickins' Park, where he encounters a mysterious girl named Jill Johnson warning him of the perilous "Coffin Curve" on Thrill Hill. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Chic Stone, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this haunting tale unfolds as Archie learns Jill was killed at the curve a decade prior—only to reappear that night to save him from the same fate. The cover, by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith, captures the eerie stillness of the moment, setting the stage for a story where past and present blur in the quiet corners of Riverdale.
Archie Andrews offers Mr. Weatherbee a ride in his boat after the school principal complains about his poor fishing luck. When the motor sputters and dies, Mr. Weatherbee surprises Archie with his unexpected knack for handling a stranded vessel.
Archie's older cousin Andy arrives in Riverdale with a mysterious agenda, but when Archie uncovers the truth—that Andy is actually a secret agent for P.O.P.—the teen's summer takes a wild turn. With Betty, Veronica, and Jughead caught in the crossfire, the search for the elusive Mad Doctor Doom leads them through a web of spies, zany gadgets, and a villain whose plans stretch far beyond the town limits.
Archie Andrews tries to give Mr. Lodge the ultimate music experience by repositioning his favorite chair near the pool speakers—only to discover that peace and quiet are about as likely as a fully stocked lunchbox. With Jughead Jones nearby and Veronica Lodge watching, the attempt to achieve "full effect" quickly turns into a lighthearted test of patience, humor, and just how far one can go for a good stereo setup.
Veronica is stunned to discover Archie has been quietly saving nearly two thousand dollars in a college fund he’s guarded like a secret. When she asks him to use some of it for a date, his firm refusal—saying he’d rather sacrifice her than touch the account—leaves her both amused and oddly touched.
Archie Andrews is caught in a classic double bind when he promises Betty Cooper he’ll be at her championship baseball game and simultaneously vows to Veronica Lodge that he’ll help with a charity car wash. With both events happening at the same time, he’s forced to sprint between the two, leading to a chaotic, laugh-filled day of misdirected efforts, split-second escapes, and a very confused Hot Dog. Meanwhile, Jughead Jones watches it all unfold with a steady supply of burgers and quiet amusement.
When Pop Tate considers closing the Chok'lit Shoppe due to financial trouble, Mr. Lodge sees an opportunity—and arranges for a Hollywood movie crew to film a scene at the diner. With Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Reggie caught in the chaos of sudden fame, the usual lunchtime routine turns into a whirlwind of cameras, egos, and unexpected antics.
Archie Andrews hits the trails of Pickins' Park, only to be warned by a mysterious, solemn jogger about the perilous "Coffin Curve" at the bottom of Thrill Hill. When Mr. Meeks reveals she’s Jill Johnson, a girl who died there a decade prior, Archie is stunned—until she appears again that night to pull him from a deadly crash.
