“Here Comes the Judge”

In "Here Comes the Judge," Veronica takes Betty to court—literally—after a disastrous home perm ruins her signature style, leading to a mock trial in Riverdale High’s Legal Affairs class, with Archie reluctantly presiding. Written by Dan Parent and Bill Golliher and brought to life by Dan DeCarlo’s iconic art and Dan Parent’s inks, this 1996 issue blends courtroom drama with classic Archie-style humor, all capped off by a cover by Dan Parent and Dan DeCarlo.
