In "Back to School Blues," Veronica returns to Riverdale High after missing the first week of school, only to find that her signature designer dress has become everyone's uniform—leaving her both baffled and out of step. Written by Kathleen Webb and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, this 2000 issue captures the familiar chaos of high school life with a twist that’s equal parts stylish and surreal. The cover, penciled by DeCarlo and inked by Scarpelli, perfectly captures the moment of bewildered fashion déjà vu.
