"My Father's Betrayal," Part One. The latest 'new look' saga is the most poignant yet, as Veronica and her friends vow to save a nature preserve from being turned into an industrial park. The issue isn't as black and white as the teens may think: not only will the industrial park bring much-needed jobs to the out-of-work residents of Riverdale, it will also help lower property taxes. But the biggest conflict of all: the industrial park is being funded by Veronica's father! What will life in Riverdale be like when its richest businessman and his debutante daughter disagree on an issue that can affect the whole community? It's the story you just can't afford to miss, served up in the 'realistic' art style that made Betty and Veronica's 'Bad Boy Trouble,' Jughead's 'Matchmakers,' and Moose and Midge's 'Breakup Blues' some of the most talked-about Archie stories in recent years! Then, in Mike Pellowski and Tim Kennedy's 'Sitting Downer,' it's 'Friendship Day' at the local library, and Betty has volunteered to read the children a story all about the topic. But when Veronica and Archie show up, the kids get a lesson in jealously instead! PLUS: Other new and classic tales!

In "Food for Thought," Jughead tries to decide what he wants to do for a career. How does his decision bring together two business rivals? Finally in a "Matter of Taste" Jughead accompanies Betty and Archie to the county fair. While he was there he decides the food booths are much more fun than the games, until he finds a way to combine the two.

"Going Green" When Mr. Lodge introduces his environmentally friendly homes, he agrees to let the gang live in one to try it out! But how will they react to being watched 24/7? In the end, they not only show how the house saves the environment, but they get a song out of it.

"Tow Wow" and "Wet Behind the Ears" In "Tow Wow," Archie's frustration with his car forces him to join the Motor Club. But Archie doesn't get his car fixed! He just gets towed everywhere: school, home and even dates! Next, in "Wet Behind the Ears," Archie can't seem to keep himself dry!
