☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Veronica's Karma," Betty takes a clever, mischievous turn to expose Veronica's schemes, following the pair to the mall and using clever disguises to test Archie's loyalty—wearing different outfits and wigs while deliberately appearing in his sight. Written by Rich Margopoulos and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, the issue captures the classic charm and playful rivalry of Riverdale’s iconic trio. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo perfectly frames the high-stakes game of flirtation and deception.
In "Veronica's Karma," Veronica stumbles upon a stolen Egyptian necklace left in her car, setting off a wild chain of events. As she wears the jewel, she starts to believe she’s the reincarnated queen of a forgotten dynasty—though whether it’s a case of mistaken identity or something more mysterious remains to be seen.
When Riverdale’s women’s athletics coach, Coach Pepper, reaches out to a local TV station, she’s determined to spotlight something rare: the unselfish teamwork between Betty and Veronica. The spotlight may be unexpected, but the girls’ quiet cooperation on the field is about to take center stage.
In "Frozen Out," Veronica’s attempt to impress at the public pond backfires when her enthusiasm for sledding leads to a messy collision with the ice skaters, earning her a swift ban from the rink. With her skate-worthy outfit gathering dust and her confidence on thin ice, she’s left wondering how to make a comeback—on her own terms.
In "Betty on the Brain," Betty takes a playful yet pointed turn in her ongoing rivalry with Veronica, trailing Archie and Veronica to the mall and staging a series of clever, wacky encounters—dressed in different outfits and wigs—just to make Archie question whether he’s truly seeing Betty everywhere. Written by a team known for their sharp, character-driven humor, this five-page gem captures the classic teenage drama with a whimsical twist, all centered on one girl’s bold attempt to prove she’s the one on Archie’s mind.
