Archie Giant Series Magazine #496
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Wet N' Wonderful," Josie and Valerie take a refreshing break from their marathon to share some Hostess Fruit Pies—only to find their snack quickly turns into a full-blown race-day party as every runner in the event joins in. A delightfully lighthearted slice of 1979 Archie fun, this issue features Dan DeCarlo’s signature art style on both interior and cover, with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and lettering by Bill Yoshida.
Veronica’s summer plans take a surprising turn when she develops a crush on a dashing beach attendant at the first aid station—so sudden, in fact, that she starts staging minor mishaps just to get his attention. With every fake sprain and staged stumble, her antics grow more elaborate, all in the name of a little romance under the sun.
In "A Court Case," Veronica challenges Betty to a game of tennis, claiming she’s been taking lessons and promising not to be a sore loser—though Betty remains skeptical, given Veronica’s track record. The tension builds as the two prepare to play, with the outcome hanging on more than just skill.
