Archie Comics Digest #80

In "Lost and Found," Veronica goes all in to win the beachside sand sculpture contest, but Betty’s intricate sand throne gives her serious competition. When Reggie tricks Archie into accidentally ruining Betty’s creation, the rivalry takes an unexpected turn—though Veronica claims victory, it’s Betty who ends up with the real prize: Archie’s attention. The story, illustrated with classic charm by Dan DeCarlo Jr., features a cover by Dan DeCarlo in his signature style, capturing the summer fun of 1986.
