Archie Giant Series Magazine #23

Archie Giant Series Magazine #23 brings a breezy 1963 summer special starring Betty and Veronica, caught mid-gossip on a seaside rock with the ocean stretching behind them. On the cover — penciled by Dan DeCarlo — a wide-eyed Veronica in a red top vents about Archie's accusations while a surprised Betty, draping a towel over her swimsuit, fires right back about her own evening out. It's a charming snapshot of beach-day drama that sets the tone for a giant-sized collection of sunny Riverdale fun.
