Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #158

Set in the hallways of Riverdale High, this February 1969 issue finds Veronica and Betty striking a pose in fringed "Indian fashions" — Veronica in red, Betty in blue — while Archie and Reggie look on with admiring grins. The cover's punchy exchange ("Without any reservation!") captures the breezy, pun-happy spirit that made this series such a delight. Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick bring their signature clean linework to the scene, delivering the kind of charming, effortlessly fun cover that defined Archie comics in the late '60s.
