Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #316
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Call of the Wild," Veronica’s frustration over Archie’s wait in a snowstorm takes a sharp turn when her father, Mr. Lodge, hears her explanation—leaving both of them stunned by the consequences of her choice. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art and Jim DeCarlo’s inks, this 1982 classic captures the chaos of teenage romance with a winter twist. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly frames the icy tension.
In "Call of the Wild," Veronica equips Archie with a pager to stay in touch, but Jughead quietly swaps it for a device of his own design—turning the tables on her surveillance with a twist of his own.
In "Royal Treatment," Betty introduces her friend Jo as an Indian prince, sparking Veronica’s skepticism—until the truth comes out at her country club’s dance, where Jo is the guest of honor. The story unfolds with playful rivalry and a twist that turns disbelief into surprise, all within the familiar world of Riverdale’s teenage social scene.
Betty’s stubborn pride keeps her from accepting a hand-me-down coat from Veronica, but when Mr. Lodge steps in with a clever scheme, the girls find themselves caught in a game of generosity and ego. With charm and a dash of mischief, the plan unfolds—though how Betty will handle the unexpected twist remains to be seen.
In "The Cold Facts," Veronica fumes over Archie’s failure to wait for her in a snowstorm—just a little too long, she insists—while her father, Mr. Lodge, takes her excuse with a level of disbelief that’s even colder than the weather.
