Indexer Notes

Veronica and Archie refer to the readers throughout the story, occasionally talking directly to them. Part of the last page is "Dedicated to Harry Lucey" with Lucey-style poses of Archie. Not clear if these are swipes of Lucey drawings or are reprints. The television series "Miami Vice" is referenced as "Miami Spice."

Note from Marossa on original panels:
* Bottom left: Archie with fists, from Pep Comics #173: "Sonny Boy".
* Jughead Archie Jingle, from Archie #116: "Bell Boys"
* Left of that with Archie fist in air: Pep Comics #160: "The Phantom"
