In "Hold the Phone," Betty sets out to keep Archie distracted from Mrs. Lodge’s fashion show—and from Veronica—by assigning Reggie to cover it for the school paper. But when Reggie swaps the assignments, thinking he’s dodging fashion and chasing girls’ sports, chaos begins to unfold in the halls of Riverdale. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils and inks by DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, letters by Bill Yoshida—this 1993 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a playful twist. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
