Veronica #102

In "Lodge Is the Law," Veronica faces a familiar mix of charm and confusion when a beachside encounter sparks memories she can't quite place—first a boy who claims to have met her at a party, then Drake Sublyme, a summer fling from last year who doesn’t remember her at all. Written by Kathleen Webb and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils by DeCarlo, inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida—this 2000 issue captures the timeless tension of high school crushes and forgotten moments, all under the watchful eye of Riverdale’s ever-present Lodge influence. The cover, penciled by DeCarlo and inked by Henry Scarpelli, perfectly captures the mood of mystery and youthful intrigue.
