"Bad Boy Trouble" is an American comic book story by writer Melanie J. Morgan and artists Steven Butler and Al Milgrom that was originally serialized in Betty & Veronica Double Digest #151–154.

Also unusual for Archie Comics, the story was collected into a trade paperback edition within a month after the original serialization was completed.

Betty, Veronica, and Midge go to watch a movie where they meet Nick St. Clair, a smooth-talking teenage biker nephew of the Anderson family.

He had recently moved in with his aunt and uncle due to trouble at his previous high school in New Jersey.

Veronica then asks Betty if she can sleep over at her house while her parents are away so she can go out with Nick, since Mr. Lodge won't let her date him.

After learning it's a personal matter between Nick and Archie he offers to let them fight in a boxing ring as long as they keep it secret.

The next day, Reggie tells Archie and Betty that Nick was caught turning in an essay that Veronica wrote for him and Ms. Grundy failed him.

The next story using the more realistic character designs called The Matchmakers was serialized in Jughead's Double Digest #139-142.

A third story in this vein, titled Break-up Blues was released in Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest #125-128.

The Matchmakers, Break-up Blues, My Father's Betrayal, and Goodbye Forever were later released in a trade paperback edition after serialization like Bad Boy Trouble.
