☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Nothing Like a Personal Touch," Veronica sets a clever plan in motion by leaving a travel brochure near Betty, hoping to trick her into skiing at Mount Royal—while Veronica herself is actually headed to Snow Valley. With the gang’s attention diverted, she hopes to enjoy some quality time with Archie and the others, all without Betty around to interfere. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this lighthearted tale features a classic Archie-style prank with a touch of playful deception. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli captures the season’s charm with a festive, snow-dusted flair.
Jughead, worried his chemistry grades are tanking his GPA, tries to ditch class by claiming the lab's chemicals pose a real health risk—though his real motivation might be less about safety and more about avoiding another test.
When Veronica accidentally starts sticking to everything she lies about, her usual charm turns into a literal mess. As her secrets cling to her hands, she’ll have to tell the truth to get free—no matter how awkward the confession.
Veronica’s frustration reaches a boiling point when Archie still hasn’t asked her out, leading her to unleash a scathing rant about how awful he is—only to be utterly shocked when Mr. Lodge refuses Archie’s request for a date.
In "Vacation Vexation," Veronica sets a clever trap by slipping a ski brochure near Betty, hoping to lure her to Mount Royal—while Veronica herself has other plans for Snow Valley. Betty, ever the loyal friend, doesn’t suspect a thing, setting the stage for a classic rivalry with a twist of misplaced vacation plans.
