Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #124
In "The Smack Affair," Betty Cooper—secret agent of the World Protective Association—finds herself caught in a bizarre trap when C.R.U.S.H. kidnaps her, only to release her with a twist: a mysterious knock-out lipstick that leaves her unable to resist kissing everyone she encounters. Written by Jim Ruth and brought to life with classic flair by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Vincent DeCarlo, this 1966 adventure blends espionage and slapstick in a uniquely Archie-style caper. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Vincent DeCarlo, captures the zany tension perfectly.
