Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #152

In "Bad Boy Trouble Part 2," Archie and Nick cross paths at Riverdale High when Nick arrives with Veronica, immediately making waves with his defiant attitude toward Ms. Grundy and Prof. Flutesnoot. Veronica’s unexpected defense of Nick’s reckless behavior leaves her friends stunned, as she seems blind to the real nature of the new student—while the tension between Archie, Nick, and the rest of the gang begins to simmer. Written by Melanie J. Morgan and illustrated by Steven Butler, with inks by Al Milgrom and colors by Stephanie Vozzo, the issue’s cover by Butler and Milgrom captures the electric moment with sharp, expressive detail.
