☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Look Who’s Talking!", Veronica’s dad bans her from spending money, so she cleverly drags Archie on a shopping trip to pick out a new hat—only for Archie to reluctantly buy one he hates, unknowingly playing right into Veronica’s scheme. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted adventure features Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art, capturing the classic charm of the Archie universe in a 1995 Double Digest.
In "Mother Love," Jughead's mistaken assumption that Betty is carrying a baby—thanks to a mysterious wicker basket—sparks a wave of gossip that sweeps through Riverdale, turning a simple moment into a full-blown town rumor. As everyone from Archie to Hiram Lodge jumps to conclusions, the truth behind the bundle remains deliciously unclear.
In "Shocking Spree," Veronica’s dad bans her from spending money, so she hatches a clever plan: take Archie shopping for a new hat, knowing he’ll never pick one she likes—making it easy to guilt him into buying it for her. What starts as a simple errand turns into a playful game of wits, with Archie’s reluctant purchases and Veronica’s smooth maneuvers keeping the mood light and the laughs coming.
In "The Equal," Veronica grapples with her own sense of privilege when Mr. Lodge shares a surprising truth about their move to Riverdale—his intention to shield his family from the pitfalls of wealth. Determined to live by that lesson, Veronica resolves to treat everyone, no matter their status, as equals.
In this playful 1995 tale from *Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #52*, Veronica’s confidence in her beauty pageant prowess sparks a prank: the guys, determined to teach her a lesson, disguise themselves as contestants. The story unfolds as the rivalry heats up, with Jo and her friends caught in the middle of the chaos.
