Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #256
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Betty's Bonnet," a playful twist on a classic commandment takes center stage as Veronica invokes "Thou shalt not covet" to gently tease Betty about her feelings for Archie—only to spark a hilarious chain reaction where everyone in Riverdale starts saying "covet" just for the fun of it. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm, the story captures the lighthearted spirit of the era, with vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the comic’s whimsical tone.
In "Fall Guy," Archie’s usual double date chaos reaches new heights when he finds himself stuck between Betty and Veronica on the same night—again. Panicking, he recalls last time’s dramatic warning, wondering if history is about to repeat itself.
In "Covet Charge," Veronica sharpens her wit with a biblical quote—“Thou shalt not covet”—to gently scold Betty for her persistent crush on Archie. The moment sparks a playful obsession, turning the word “covet” into a hilarious, catch-all chant that sweeps through Riverdale, one giggly repetition at a time.
