☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Take Me to Your Leader," Betty’s sudden embrace of the beatnik scene—complete with bongo drums, jazz, and a frayed sweater—has the whole town buzzing. When Veronica sends Archie and Reggie to bring her back to normal, they find themselves reluctantly drawn into the beatnik groove, one by one—though Jughead remains unmoved, convinced they’re just copying his cool. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s expressive art and Rudy Lapick’s inks, this 1961 classic features a cover by Bob White that captures the era’s playful spirit.
In "Take Me to Your Leader," Betty embraces a beatnik lifestyle with bongo drums, jazz, and a rumpled sweater, leaving Veronica baffled and determined to restore order. She sends the boys to reason with her, but one by one, they fall under the beatnik spell—except Jughead, who’s convinced they’re just copying his cool.
In "Saved by the Belle," Archie finds himself caught between two very different girls when the glamorous Viv Laverne arrives in Riverdale, turning heads and tempting Archie’s attention. When Veronica catches him in a compromising moment, Betty steps in—hiding Viv and cleverly turning the tables so it looks like she’s the one secretly dating Archie.
