Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #124
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
Betty Cooper, undercover agent for the World Protective Association, is kidnapped by the villainous C.R.U.S.H.—only to be mysteriously released with a twist: a special knock-out lipstick that sends her into uncontrollable kissing sprees. Now, she’s on the run, trying to stay focused while every encounter threatens to end in a smooch.
In "Contact Sport," Betty’s determined quest to catch Archie’s attention puts her at odds with Veronica, who’s equally committed to keeping them apart—each girl using increasingly creative (and comedic) tactics in a lighthearted battle of wills.
In "Raging Blizzard," Veronica’s icy temper sends Archie stumbling into a snowstorm, but when Betty catches him on the rebound, Veronica must brave the blizzard to reclaim her heart. A classic 1966 teen rom-com moment unfolds with snow, slapstick, and a dash of rivalry.
