With the shock of the lipstick incident behind us, it's time for the well-received realistic Archie comic to get a "permanent" ongoing artist, and it's Veronica Fish.

Stevenson was just a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art at the time. She's gone on to become a regular exhibitor at MoCCA, and hopefully in 2016 as well.
