Archie Giant Series Magazine #552

Betty and Veronica swap their usual Riverdale haunts for the great outdoors in this cheerful 1985 giant-series issue, with both girls serving as camp counselors surrounded by a lively group of kids. Dan DeCarlo's cover captures the fun perfectly — the girls crouching and chatting with their young campers in a sunny forest clearing, while a very interested bear family lurks in the bushes behind them, oblivious to the speech bubble's wry observation that "the forest is a great place to observe strange, unusual creatures." It's a warm, easygoing snapshot of summer camp life with just the right dash of Archie-universe humor.
