With Dan DeCarlo’s signature style bringing the scene to life and Barry Grossman’s colors adding that classic 1970s flair, this 1976 issue captures a moment of playful rivalry with charm and flair.

In "The Show Up," Veronica has a plan: while Betty toils on the tennis court, she’ll perfect her look with a full beautician session, aiming to impress the handsome new boy in town. The only question is whether her flawless appearance will be enough when Betty finally shows up—sweaty, but still radiating her usual charm.
