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."
