In "Touch Me Not," Veronica’s latest fashion statement takes a surprising turn when her sleek, designer swimwear—bold for 1969—draws more attention than she expected. Though she’s proud of her daring choice, everyone seems convinced the suit’s been ruined by moths, leaving her scrambling to explain the strange, threadbare look. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature flair—pencils and inks by DeCarlo, inks by Rudy Lapick, and colors by Barry Grossman—this 1969 classic captures the charm and humor of Archie’s Girls with a splash of vintage style.

In "Pre-Season Warm Up," Veronica shows off her new, ultra-luxurious swimwear—so daring it looks like it’s been eaten by moths—causing a stir at the beach. Jo and the gang react with shock and disbelief, unsure if it’s a fashion statement or a wardrobe malfunction.

In "String Along," Veronica sets her sights on securing a gig for The Archies at Mr. Lodge's country club, launching a full-scale makeover of the band’s style and music to match the club’s polished, upscale vibe. With her usual flair, she takes charge of their image and setlist—just in time for a performance that could make or break their shot at the big stage.
