Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #8

A classroom rivalry gets a playful twist in this 1952 Archie Series gem — on the cover, Veronica confronts Betty over a notebook cheekily labeled "Archieology Notes," with a red-headed figure (unmistakably Archie himself) seated between them, blissfully unaware of the debate unfolding on his behalf. George Frese's cover art captures the girls' spirited back-and-forth with warm expressiveness, and the promise of "All New Stories" — including the tale "Brazil Nuts" by writer Sy Reit — makes this a ten-cent package full of Riverdale charm.
