Archie #9
In "Chapter One: Down and Out in Riverdale," Betty pushes Archie to see Veronica for who she really is—while Veronica, determined to help, finds herself utterly lost in the aisles of a grocery store. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life with vibrant, expressive art by Veronica Fish (pencils and inks), this issue captures the messy, heartfelt rhythm 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 with its sharp, stylized detail.
In "Chapter Two: Simple Comforts" from Archie #9 (2016), Veronica’s well-intentioned efforts to help Archie’s dad—complete with a giant TV and her household staff to cook and clean—quickly stir up unexpected reactions. The familiar rhythms of Riverdale life get a surprising twist as kindness meets resistance in this quietly charming, character-driven moment.
In "The House That Lodge Built," Archie finds himself in an unexpected moment of consequence when he spots a fire at the Lodge mansion and acts fast to call for help. Through quiet, introspective narration, the story explores Archie’s effort to earn Mr. Lodge’s respect in a single, pivotal moment.
