☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Double Date," Archie finds himself behind the wheel of Mr. Weatherbee’s Yakasaki Pigeon—just as it’s hijacked by police chasing bank robbers in a getaway car disguised as a Chubby Charlie’s Chicken Shack float during a downtown Riverdale parade. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 2019 Double Digest tale delivers a lighthearted yet high-stakes caper, all while the mysterious narrator hints that some things were never meant to change. The cover, by Pat Kennedy, Tim Kennedy, and Bob Smith, captures the chaos in classic Archie style.
Archie and Betty plan a romantic night out, but their double date with Jughead and Alice—and Reggie and Veronica—takes an unexpected turn at the dance club, where the group splits up and the evening unfolds in a whirlwind of music, laughter, and tangled plans.
When Professor Flutesnoot unveils his latest invention—a hair-growth chemical—Mr. Weatherbee sees a golden opportunity, though the professor warns there are still a few kinks to sort out. With Ms. Phlips, Svenson, and Miss Beazly watching closely, the principal’s enthusiasm quickly turns into a messy experiment that may or may not have gone exactly as planned.
When Archie Andrews is driving Mr. Weatherbee’s repaired Yakasaki Pigeon through downtown Riverdale, the quiet afternoon erupts into chaos as a bank robbery unfolds—right in the middle of a parade. With the getaway vehicle cleverly disguised as a Chubby Charlie’s Chicken Shack float, Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, and even Big Barney find themselves caught in a wild, chicken-themed chase that turns the streets of Riverdale into a high-speed obstacle course.
Archie Andrews and Veronica Lodge find themselves caught between two lenses when Mr. Lodge starts filming the mansion with his new video camera—only to discover that Leroy has been secretly recording the same moments from a very different angle.
When Mr. Weatherbee hires an actor to impersonate him at a school assembly, chaos ensues as the real and fake principals start swapping roles—leaving Archie, Betty, and the whole school tangled in a mix-up only Superintendent Hassle can unravel.
In "The Good, the Bad and the Reggie," Archie Andrews and Reggie Mantle find themselves on opposite sides of the racing track, each working as a pit crew member for a top driver—Archie for Slade Sutter, Reggie for Greg Ward. When Reggie’s driver pressures him to sabotage Archie’s racer, loyalty and friendship are put to the ultimate test.
When a mysterious statue vanishes mid-robbery, Archie and Jughead find themselves in the middle of a full-blown mystery — and a very unusual chase. With Betty and Veronica hot on the trail and a pair of bumbling crooks behind the theft, the gang must piece together clues before the missing monument is lost for good.
