I know it’s still September, but now is the perfect time to get a jump-start on Halloween with a new story I wrote in Betty and Veronica Friends Forever: Halloween Spooktacular #1. This is the first time that I used Sabrina the Teenage Witch in a story, and definitely won’t be the last (I’m still sad about the Netflix show ending). I also love the cover drawn by Dan Parent! If you want to grab a copy check your local comic book shop, newsstand, or get the digital issue on ComiXology. Here’s the official synopsis:

Betty & Veronica are here with some spooky stories to get you into the Halloween spirit, including a BRAND-NEW story! In “Best Witches,” while out shopping for their Halloween costumes, Betty and Veronica find an old witch’s hat at a thrift store. Thinking it would be perfect for her costume, Veronica buys it and puts it on. When she wishes that Archie was there and then he magically appears, they realize the hat is magic! What will Betty and Veronica do next with this newfound power?

I haven’t been able to do any live conventions since the pandemic started, but I’m going to be doing a virtual one on May 15! EmCon is an anime and comic convention at the East Meadow Library in NY. I’ll be talking about what it’s like to draw and write comics and show off some examples.

It should be a lot of fun and anyone can register, whether you live in the area or not!

For more information visit the EmCon Facebook page, or go to their website to Register.
