A New Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead & Reggie?
• Amorous Pop Culture
Did you know Veronica once lost her bikini top?
As part of an experimental makeover, Archie and his friends will have a new, more sophisticated look this spring. Drawn by frequent Archie Comics artist Steven Butler, the gang will have a more realistic appearance, with new hairstyles for the girls. Betty will trade in her classic ponytail for two “bungee cords” spilling away from her head, and Veronica will have a long black mane. The new-look characters will appear in four 25-page stories that will run across four issues of Betty & Veronica Double Digest, the first one going on sale May 14.
