Archie Giant Series Magazine #572

In "Be Yourself," Betty attempts to win over a boy using Veronica’s flashy tactics—only to find her usual charm is no match for the chaos of her friend’s style. When a chance encounter at the beach leads her to a boy who just wants to read her book, Betty discovers that being herself might be the most effective strategy after all.

Betty’s routine takes a hit when Veronica skips their weekly backgammon game to go on a date with her new boyfriend, George. Upset that their friendly rivalry is being sidelined, Betty confides in her mother, who gently reminds her that even the best games need new players to keep things interesting.

Betty lands a modeling gig for swimsuits and shows up at the beach in her new wardrobe—complete with the right to keep them. Veronica, not one to be outshone, convinces her father to hire her as a replacement, but her version of modeling takes a very different turn.

In "Night & Day," Betty finds herself caught between the boys’ beachside sports plans and a surprising twist about Veronica’s after-hours reputation—rumored to be a disco demon who only plays when the sun goes down. The story playfully explores the contrast between Betty’s daytime energy and Veronica’s mysterious nightlife, all set against the carefree vibe of Riverdale’s summer scene.
