Archie Giant Series Magazine #486
In "Prom Qualm," Veronica tries to wiggle out of a date her father arranged with the son of a business associate, but her clever plan backfires in a way she didn’t expect—leaving her father hurt and confused. Written and illustrated with signature charm by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1979 issue captures the familiar mix of teenage drama and heartfelt moments that define the Archie universe. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo, perfectly captures Veronica’s mischievous yet vulnerable expression as she faces the consequences of her actions.
