Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #166
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Dreams of Glory," Betty’s devotion to Archie reaches surreal new heights when her father confronts her about the overwhelming presence of Archie in her home—complete with a life-size waterproof figure in the shower, a recorded voice whispering sweet nothings, and photos of Archie plastered across her ceiling. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1969 classic captures a uniquely exaggerated take on teenage crushes, all rendered in the signature style of the era. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the lighthearted absurdity of the moment.
Betty’s house has become a full-blown Archie shrine—complete with a life-size waterproof Archie in the shower, a voice recording whispering sweet nothings, and photos of the Riverdale heartthrob plastered on the ceiling. Her dad, clearly overwhelmed, suggests she might want to play hard to get—though whether that’s advice for Betty or a plea for peace remains to be seen.
