Archie Facsimile Edition #1

A sunny beach scene sets the stage for this 2024 facsimile edition reproducing Betty and Me No. 16, with cover art by Dan DeCarlo. The cover shows Archie carrying Betty out of the surf while three dazed rivals stand in the water behind them, stars swirling around their heads — the speech bubbles making it delightfully clear he had some competition in the rescue department. Inside, writer Frank Doyle and artist Dan DeCarlo (inked by Rudy Lapick, lettered by Bill Yoshida) deliver "The Salvage Depot," a story that promises the kind of breezy, good-natured fun that made this series such a treat.
