In "Mothers and Daughters Day," Veronica accidentally wears a dress meant for another client after a mix-up at the design studio, only to spark a surprising new trend at Riverdale High—much to Principal Weatherbee’s dismay. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Jeff Shultz, inks by Henry Scarpelli, and vibrant colors by Barry Grossman, this 2002 issue captures the charm and chaos of teenage style with a touch of schoolyard drama. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Henry Scarpelli perfectly captures Veronica’s bold new look, setting the tone for a story where fashion and authority collide.
