Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #143

In "Allowance Angst," Veronica Lodge finds herself unexpectedly thrust into a crucial moment on the girls basketball team—despite not being a standout player—when she’s called in during the final minutes of a tight game. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Jeff Shultz, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 2004 issue captures the high stakes and humor of a classic Archie-style sports moment, all while keeping the focus on Veronica’s surprising turn on the court.
