Archie & Friends All Stars #23

In "Distress over a Dress," Veronica faces a sartorial crisis when Mr. Lodge cuts off her fashion funding, forcing her to make a bold move at Fjordstroms. What starts as a simple shopping trip takes a surprising turn when she discovers her new dress was also purchased by Betty, Midge, and Tomoko—setting off a ripple of unexpected tension among the friends. Written by Kathleen Webb and illustrated by Dan Parent, with inks by Jim Amash and colors by Barry Grossman, the issue captures the drama and charm of Riverdale’s style scene, all capped by a classic cover by Dan DeCarlo.
