Archie Comics Digest #139
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Wrong Number," Veronica finds herself frustrated by the unflattering glimpses of herself on her videophone, leading her father to suggest a nostalgic fix: switching to an old-fashioned audio-only phone. Written by Kathleen Webb and illustrated by Dan Parent with inks by Scott McRae, this 1996 Archie Comics Digest tale captures a lighthearted moment of teenage self-consciousness, all rendered in the classic style graced by Stan Goldberg’s cover pencils and Henry Scarpelli’s inks.
In "Sculpture Schemer," Veronica teams up with a professional sculptor to outdo Betty and Archie in a snow sculpture contest, determined to keep the five-hundred-dollar prize out of their hands—though whether her plan will actually work remains to be seen.
In "Room Without a Viewer!", Veronica grows frustrated when her videophone insists on showing her image—even when she’s not ready for the camera. Her dad offers a surprisingly simple fix: switch to an old-school audio-only phone, and she’s suddenly free from the mirror of the screen.
In "Frostbite," Archie launches a spirited campaign to prove winter’s superiority over summer, only to find his argument tested when Veronica is roped into helping him dig his car out of a snowbank—her firsthand experience might just change her mind about the season.
