Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #162

In "The Kiss-Off," Betty finds herself caught between her own style and her parents' strict rules when they forbid her from wearing her miniskirt and mesh stockings in twenty-degree weather—especially after seeing Veronica pull off the same look. 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 letters, this 1969 classic captures a moment of teenage rebellion with a touch of wholesome charm. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the playful tension of the scene.
