Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with bold, classic flair by Stan Goldberg (pencils), Mario Acquaviva (inks), Barry Grossman (colors), and Bill Yoshida (letters), this 2004 adventure blends mystery and humor in a tale that’s as stylish as it is suspenseful. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith captures the eerie charm of the mansion’s shadowy presence.

Betty, inspired by Veronica’s bold new look, tries to match her style with a splash of pink—only she’s got a tight budget. With no salon in sight, she grabs a packet of artificial drink mix and goes for it, hoping for a fresh new look without the price tag.
In "My Brother's Keeper," the Pussycats take refuge in a storm-lashed Gothic mansion run by the enigmatic Roderick Van Cleeve, only for Melody to uncover a chilling secret buried within its walls—one Roderick will go to extreme lengths to keep hidden.
