Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #23

In "Temptation," Betty faces a moment of quiet conflict when she learns Archie and Veronica are drifting apart—giving her a rare opening to pursue her feelings. But her temptation isn't just about Archie; it's the urge to share the news with Reggie, setting off a small, personal storm of loyalty and impulse. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Vincent DeCarlo, the issue captures the familiar rhythm of Riverdale’s social web. The cover by Samm Schwartz perfectly frames the moment’s tension.
