Publisher’s description
"Musclebound Madness." Veronica's cousin plans on making Archie's date the worst one yet! Oswald Van Dyke III is refusing to let the lovely couple spend any time together, and his tough exterior is keeping Arch from speaking up. It seems the only way to compete with the muscular jerk is to hit the gym! Archie looks to build his body in time for the next date, and hopefully show dear Ozzie a thing or two! How will this showdown end?
