Veronica #52

In "The Portrait," Veronica finds herself in an unexpectedly sticky situation when Betty asks her to wear a homemade carrot costume for fitting adjustments—only to be abruptly evacuated when a fire alarm sounds. Caught mid-panic, Veronica dashes into the streets in full carrot regalia, turning heads and raising eyebrows in Riverdale’s usual mix of chaos and charm. Written by Dan Parent and illustrated by Tim Kennedy, with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue’s cover by Dan DeCarlo and Alison Flood captures the moment with classic flair.
