Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #37
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Party Favors," Betty’s quiet frustration over being left out of Archie’s surprise party leads her to a playful deception that puts her and Archie in an unexpected moment of connection. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—inked by Rudy Lapick and lettered by Vincent DeCarlo—this 1958 gem captures the sweet tension of teenage friendship and misdirected affection. The cover by Harry Lucey perfectly frames the moment’s delicate humor.
Betty’s hurt when she realizes she’s been left out of the plans for Archie’s surprise party, so she quietly convinces Archie that everyone else has forgotten the date—giving them a chance to celebrate alone. With a mix of playful charm and quiet longing, she sets the stage for a moment just between them, hoping to turn her disappointment into something sweet.
In "Corpse De Ballet," Veronica tricks Betty into covering for her when she’s roped into teaching Mr. Weatherbee’s niece to dance—only to find herself caught in a web of her own making when the niece insists on a full performance. With the dance recital looming, Betty’s unexpected role sets off a chain of escalating mishaps neither girl saw coming.
In "Weary Warbler," Veronica schemes to sabotage Betty’s chances in a singing competition by convincing Archie to spend the entire week on dates with her—exhausting Betty just as the big event approaches. With clever manipulation and a dash of rivalry, Veronica hopes to claim victory, but the real test of endurance is yet to come.
