☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Archies in Nashville," the usual rivalry between Albert and Alex takes a surprising turn when a near-miss with a car leaves Albert deeply in Alex’s debt—thanks to a guitar thrown in a fit of jealousy. Grateful for the save, Albert vows to let Alex have his way, even if it means surrendering Josie, and soon finds himself shadowing Alex at every turn. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick, this lighthearted, music-filled adventure sees the Archies chasing dreams—and drama—in Music City, all captured in a cover by Tod Smith and Bob Smith.
In "Cat-Girl's Cat-astrophe," Cat Girl [Ann Gora] is tasked with freeing the cats at the zoo—only to accidentally cause chaos in her first attempt. When the Grand Master visits, she’s given another chance, but this time her misstep unleashes an ape instead of a panther, turning the zoo into a furry free-for-all.
When Reggie Mantle gets separated from the gang during a beach picnic, he panics at the sight of towering props he mistakes for a giant—only to be recruited by a movie director who’s filming an Egyptian epic. His confidence leads him straight into a mummy wrappings audition that quickly goes from playful to perilous.
At the Riverdale High Annual Picnic, Veronica Lodge teams up with Betty Cooper in a series of playful competitions—her competitive streak stoked by a desire to outshine Betty and keep her close to Archie, all while Mr. Weatherbee tries to maintain order and Jughead Jones finds his own way to the snacks.
In a hilariously tangled twist of rivalry and gratitude, Albert finds himself indebted to Alexander Cabot III after a near-miss with a car—spurred by a guitar thrown in a fit of jealousy. Convinced by Melody that Alex saved his life, Albert vows to surrender all claims, even to Josie, and proceeds to shadow Alex everywhere, turning every moment with Josie into a comedic obstacle course.
Archie Andrews is stuck painting the house, but when his Pop’s not looking, Betty and Veronica show up to help—only their idea of “assistance” turns the job into a full-blown disaster. With Fred Andrews’ paintbrush in one hand and his patience in the other, the day takes a wild turn as the girls’ enthusiasm gets the better of them.
Archie Andrews is back at it again—this time juggling a summer job with his uncle Charlie, installing air conditioners across Riverdale. But with Betty and Veronica around, and the heat turning up, can he stay focused on the job, or will his usual charm get him into trouble?
