☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Coming to the U.S.A!", Veronica tries to one-up Betty in winter style—only to accidentally sabotage her own look by deliberately dressing down and mussing her hair, all while unaware a news crew is filming Betty’s snowmen. Written by Jeff Shultz and illustrated by Jeff Shultz, this lighthearted moment from Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #190 (2009) captures the playful rivalry between the two friends, with Dan Parent handling the cover.
Kumi, a 16-year-old from Tokyo, trades her bustling city life for the wide-open streets of Riverdale, dazzled by American supermarkets and sprawling suburban homes. As she navigates her first days at Riverdale High, she’s eager to fit in—though the cultural shift leaves her both excited and a little unsure.
In "Forgive & Forget?", Veronica tries to move on after storming off from a missed date with Archie, only to find his presence lingering in every corner of Riverdale—until she’s not sure if she’s avoiding him or just can’t let go.
In "The Big Star," Archie and Adam find common ground on the basketball court, their teamwork shining despite their usual rivalry. But when Betty shows up, old tensions flare, putting their game — and their friendship — on the line.
When a famous actress and former Riverdale student returns to her old high school to help with the drama club’s production of *Romeo and Juliet*, the whole gang finds themselves swept up in the spotlight—each vying for a leading role, from Jo to Archie, and everyone in between.
When Sabrina accidentally activates an enchanted top hat on her snowman, it comes to life and starts growing uncontrollably. As Salem tries to stop it, his magic backfires, unleashing a massive blizzard and summoning an army of snowmen across Riverdale.
In "Dress Warmly," Veronica counts on her new, stylish dress to turn heads at school—until the heating system fails and she’s forced to wear her coat all day. With the cold keeping her from showing off her favorite outfit, she’s left wondering if anyone will even notice her when the warmth returns.
In "Role Model!", Betty enlists Ethel to mentor a group of young basketball players, not for her skills on the court, but for the quiet determination she embodies. The story captures a heartfelt moment where effort and perseverance speak louder than talent, showing the girls what’s possible when you keep going.
In "The Snow Must Go On," Veronica suspects Betty skipped sledding to outdo her in winter style, so she deliberately shows up looking less than her best—old clothes, messy hair—only to stumble into a surprise news crew filming Betty’s snowmen. The moment feels like a personal jab, but the real story behind the camera is still unfolding.
When the Pussycats get their hands on some extra cash, they pitch in to support Josie’s cousin’s struggling new restaurant—offering a concert to draw crowds. But as the night unfolds, the band finds themselves elbow-deep in kitchen chaos, discovering that running a restaurant is no easy tune to play.
