In "Saved By the Bell," Betty’s anticipation of an inheritance from an aunt sets off a playful rivalry with Veronica, who swiftly takes it upon herself to teach Betty the finer (and more dramatic) ways of being rich. Written by Claire Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—penciled and inked by the legendary duo, with Barry Grossman’s colors and Bill Y.’s crisp lettering—this 1981 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a touch of comedic social satire.
