Archie #8
In "Chapter One: Two Kittens and a Puppy," Veronica faces a family rift when her dad announces his run for mayor of Riverdale, leading to a tense argument. Seeking an escape, she convinces Archie to help her visit the pet store to pick out a kitten—partly to distract herself, partly to cover a lie she’s told her father. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life with vibrant art by Veronica Fish, this heartfelt chapter captures the quiet chaos of teenage life in Riverdale, with colors by Andre Szymanowicz and Jen Vaughn, and letters by Jack Morelli. The cover, also by Veronica Fish, perfectly frames the moment’s emotional weight.
