☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Driving Mr. Doiley," Archie Andrews faces his most bizarre challenge yet when Reggie, in his flamboyant Evilheart guise, orchestrates a wild scheme to capture Betty and Veronica, using them as bait to lure the heroic Pureheart the Powerful to a remote farm. With Pureheart dropped into a dry well, the fate of the day hangs in the balance—though just how the hero will escape remains a mystery. The story unfolds with the signature charm of Bill Vigoda’s art, while Dan DeCarlo and Alison Flood deliver a classic, exaggerated cover that captures the issue’s playful chaos.
In "Charm Chatter," Jughead spins a tale about one of his lucky charms that supposedly helped a friend ace algebra—only to shock Reggie when he learns the student was Big Moose. Skeptical at first, Reggie’s curiosity turns into full-blown enthusiasm, leading him to buy a dozen charms on the spot.
Archie Andrews’ knack for math earns him a tiny calculator as a prize, but when the keys prove too small to use, he hands it over to a younger neighbor—setting off a quiet moment of generosity in a story that captures the charm of small-town life and the unexpected kindness of a shared moment.
In "The Pit of Peril Part 1," Reggie, transformed into the villainous Evilheart, traps Betty and Veronica in a twisted game, using them to lure Archie—now the heroic Pureheart the Powerful—to a remote farm. With no time to waste, Evilheart’s henchmen send Pureheart plunging into a dry well, setting the stage for a showdown neither hero nor villain expected.
In "The Suggestion Question," Archie Andrews finds himself at the center of a student-led push to reshape school life, pitching bold ideas like snack breaks, rock music in the halls, and faculty fitness routines—just in time for the next big school vote.
In "Tough Point," Archie Andrews finally stands up to Mr. Lodge’s endless displays of wealth, only to be tested when the wealthy man challenges him at Pop Tate’s—leaving Archie with the bill to settle. The moment becomes a quiet lesson in pride, responsibility, and what it really means to stand your ground.
