Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #31

A sunny summer archery outing turns into a different kind of competition on this charming 1957 cover, where Betty stands confidently at the target with a bull's-eye to her name while Veronica draws her bow — but has her eyes (and floating hearts) aimed squarely at Archie instead. The cover gag, with one onlooker cheering Betty's marksmanship while another notes Veronica's real target, captures the playful rivalry that made this series so endearing. Dan DeCarlo's crisp, expressive linework brings the whole scene to life with effortless warmth.
