Written by Dan Parent and Bill Golliher, with art by Dan DeCarlo and Dan Parent, this 2001 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a touch of legal comedy, all brought to life by Henry Scarpelli’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith perfectly captures the playful tension of the moment.
In "Buddy, Can You Spare a Buddy?", Veronica goes all-in on her campaign to beat Betty for Miss Popular in the yearbook, pulling out every trick in the book to win—no expense spared, and no friend too far to go. With charm, hustle, and a dash of mischief, she’s determined to claim the crown, even if it means turning the school into her personal campaign trail.

The story unfolds with classic comic timing, exploring the awkward tension between kindness and mistaken affection.
In "Here Comes the Judge," Betty’s accidental mishap with Veronica’s perm sparks a courtroom-style showdown when Veronica demands justice—leading Miss Grundy to turn the chaos into a real-life lesson for her Legal Affairs class. With the whole school watching, the familiar rivalry takes a surprisingly formal turn.
