Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #48

In "Cast Off," Betty finds herself in a sticky situation when Veronica generously hands over her entire wardrobe so Betty can convince her father to buy her new clothes. Though initially thrilled, Betty soon feels the weight of judgment as friends and classmates react with surprise—and not in a good way—to her second-hand style. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks, this 1959 classic captures teenage social dynamics with a touch of humor and heart, all framed by DeCarlo’s iconic cover art.
