Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #257
In "Dry Run," Veronica's quick assumptions lead to a mix-up that stirs up more than just a little jealousy—when she sees Archie buying a pendant, she's certain it's for her, only to be left puzzled when he hands her a signed photo instead. The moment sets off a quiet but sharp tension between the trio, with the real reason behind the gift still hanging in the air. Art by Dan DeCarlo, with coloring by Barry Grossman, and a cover by Dan DeCarlo, this 1977 issue captures the classic Archie charm with its familiar faces and playful misunderstandings.
