Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #149
In "Surprise Story," Betty goes all out to impress Archie with a one-of-a-kind poster, but Veronica isn't about to let her win—so she prints a thousand identical copies, hoping to undermine Betty's sincerity. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo's signature art, Rudy Lapick's inks, Barry Grossman's colors, and Bill Yoshida's lettering, this 1968 gem captures the classic rivalry with a playful twist. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the moment of tension between the two girls.
