Archie Giant Series Magazine #201

A sun-soaked beach sets the scene on this 1972 giant-sized issue, where Betty in a pink bikini chats up Archie while Veronica — in a red bikini and looking very pleased with herself — shares a knowing aside with Jughead, their speech bubbles delivering a perfectly timed punchline. Dan DeCarlo's pencils and Joe Edwards' inks give the whole cover that warm, breezy charm the Archie line did so well, making this Betty and Veronica Spectacular a delightful summer package packed with extra stories for a quarter.
