Description

Anthony tossed this in for free with an order I placed during a Wheeling and Dealing stream. I think it's from a Betty & Veronica or Archie comic. Cheryl and Betty are mentioned. If you're familiar with this piece, please let me know and I'll update it.

Update 5/26/25: Thanks to Live Laugh Legion's amazing comment I was able to add the most likely penciler. We're still tracking down what issue this is from, but Live Laugh Legion's best guess was Veronica #205. Check the comment below for some great info. Thanks for all of your help!

So, playing detective here. I’m about 99% sure the artist is Dan Parent and about 50% the page is from Veronica #205.

I have several pieces from Dan Parent, and I’ve read a lot of his books, and this looks like his work. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of his prelims, so that’s throwing me a little. But the way the characters standing in profile are drawn and the way Kevin Keller (last panel) is drawn make me fairly confident it’s Dan Parent.

I recently re-read the Kevin Keller 10-year anniversary compendium, and from a plot perspective, this page reminds me A LOT of Veronica #205, Kevin’s second appearance. (Betty is jealous of the time Veronica spends with new guy Kevin, but Betty and Veronica make up when Cheryl Blossom crashes Betty’s birthday party and makes a play for Archie.) The thing is… I double checked this prelim page against the final published book, and the dialogue and layout of the final issue are very different. So, either it’s a totally different issue with a similar plot resolution, or it is, in fact, Veronica #205 but the scripting and layout changed before final publication.

The compendium I just read has all of Kevin Keller’s other major appearances from 2010-2020, and with all those comics fresh in mind, I don’t know of another issue where this page would fit in. It’s possible there’s some other issue out there that this came from that’s not in the compendium, of course!

This is such a pro level comment I can't thank you enough. Absolutely great info. I updated the penciler and comment to reflect the new info you added. I really appreciate all of your help with this, and again, thank you so much! You're amazing!
