Archie's Ten Issue Collector's Set #2

In "Love and Hisses," Betty and Veronica find themselves at odds over a shared dislike of ice skating—Betty excels and draws attention, while Veronica struggles and feels overlooked. Midge becomes the unlikely confidante as the girls grapple with their insecurities, all set against the familiar charm of Riverdale’s high school scene. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this 1997 issue captures the quiet drama of teenage friendship. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Alison Flood perfectly frames the moment with its expressive, nostalgic flair.
