- When Archie and Betty go to Capp's Comics Cubbyhole, they meet other comic shop owners.

Archie then offers to write the script for Chuck's comic, which Capp will carry exclusively.
Indexer Notes
6 vignettes on the splash page show Archie as Black Spy (from Mad's Spy vs. Spy), as Thor, as Sonic the Hedgehog, as Batman, and as Tweety Bird from Looney Tunes. The other comic shop owners on pages 3 and 4 are based on real people. Page 5 includes 4 unidentified vignettes of comic book professionals -- possibly the creators of this story.

- Craig Boldman
- Pencils:

- Inks:

- Chuck Clayton; Archie Andrews; Jughead Jones; Veronica Lodge; Hiram Lodge; Betty Cooper; Bethany; Mr. Dalyrimple (Bethany's father); Smithers; Cameos: Capp; Dilton Doiley; Geraldine Grundy
- Synopsis:
- When Archie realizes that Bethany is at Veronica's house, he plans to still meet her there. Bethany's father is a wig maker and Bethany's rad hair style is just a wig. Mr. Dalyrimple then gives copies of the wig to Betty, Veronica and Mr. Lodge to wear. Thinking that each is Bethany, Archie tries to court all of them except Bethany, with humorous results. Chuck then gets his inspiration: a comic starring Archie and his comedic escapades.
Indexer Notes
The opening panel shows Archie as Dracula, Garfield the Cat (with Jughead as Odie), The Incredible Hulk, as the star of a romance book (done in a realistic art style with Betty Cooper as his love interest), and as a science fiction hero, complete with ray gun, rocket pack and glass oxygen helmet.
