'My Father's Betrayal,' Part 1
The latest 'new look' saga is the most poignant yet, as Veronica and her friends vow to save a nature preserve from being turned into an industrial park. The issue isn't as black and white as the teens may think: not only will the industrial park bring much-needed jobs to the out-of-work residents of Riverdale, it will also help lower property taxes. But the biggest conflict of all: the industrial park is being funded by Veronica's father! What will life in Riverdale be like when its richest businessman and his debutante daughter disagree on an issue that can affect the whole community? It's the story you just can't afford to miss, served up in the 'realistic' art style that made Betty and Veronica's 'Bad Boy Trouble,' Jughead's 'Matchmakers,' and Moose and Midge's 'Breakup Blues' some of the most talked-about Archie stories in recent years! Then, in Mike Pellowski and Tim Kennedy's 'Sitting Downer,' it's 'Friendship Day' at the local library, and Betty has volunteered to read the children a story all about the topic. But when Veronica and Archie show up, the kids get a lesson in jealously instead!
