Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #71
In "The Chaperone," Betty and Veronica find themselves stranded at a secluded lakeside cabin during a summer getaway, only to stumble upon a prehistoric lake monster and a pair of troublemaking hoodlums with a ransom in mind. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—inked by Rudy Lapick and lettered by Vincent DeCarlo—this 1961 adventure blends classic Archie charm with a splash of supernatural suspense. The cover by Bob White captures the eerie tension perfectly, making this a standout issue in the series.
