B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #263

In "The Empress's New Clothes!", Veronica takes matters into her own hands when the boys skip swimming at her pool, opting instead for the "ol' swimmin' hole." Determined to make her pool more appealing, she sets out to transform it—though her grand plans might be a little more dramatic than expected. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s classic art and Rudy Lapick’s inks, this playful story captures the charm and humor of the Archie universe, with Jeff Shultz’s cover capturing the moment’s flair.
