Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #227

In "Costume Drama," a TV crew arrives at the Lodge mansion to film an exclusive segment, putting Mr. Lodge and his estate under the spotlight. Veronica vows to keep Archie out of the way, but he has other plans—hiding all day to avoid the cameras, setting off a series of mischievous (and quietly dramatic) antics. Written by Mike Pellowski and illustrated by Dan Parent, with inks by Jim Amash, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, this Double Digest tale captures the classic charm of the Archie universe. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Bob Smith perfectly frames the episode’s playful tension.
