Veronica #113

Veronica Lodge is clearly thinking big in this 2001 Archie Comics issue, as the cover — penciled by Jeff Shultz and inked by Henry Scarpelli — shows her presenting an artist's rendering of a grand Lodge-branded boutique to a decidedly unamused school administrator, who fires back that "there will be NO alterations to your locker!" It's a delightful clash of Veronica's lavish ambitions and everyday school authority, all captured in that warm, breezy style that made her solo series such a treat. With the rest of the Riverdale gang peeking in from the cover banner, issue #113 promises the kind of charming, comedy-of-privilege fun that keeps fans coming back.
