Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #86
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Rivals?", Veronica is heartbroken over her sick tropical fish, George—unaware that Archie mistakes the fish for a rival suitor. When Archie vows to teach the mysterious "rival" a lesson, the misunderstanding spirals into a classic Archie-style mix of humor and high-stakes drama. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks, this 1963 classic features Bob White’s playful cover art.
In "Hook, Line and Clinker," Veronica’s distress over her sick tropical fish George sends Archie into a jealous fury, convinced some rival is to blame for breaking their date—though he has no idea George is actually a fish.
