In "Turning Over a New Leaf?", Archie finds himself caught between two worlds when he scores two tickets to the live taping of the popular game show "You Bet Your Buddy"—and, of course, insists on taking both Betty and Veronica. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by Harry Lucey, Chic Stone, and Bill Yoshida, this 1972 gem captures the timeless charm of Riverdale’s most famously indecisive teen. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the moment’s escalating tension.
