In "Spot Check," Archie and Reggie find themselves on the receiving end of a playful but pointed reversal when Betty and Veronica push back against what they see as outdated chivalry—turning the tables with a series of wry, gender-flipped antics that leave the boys both flustered and intrigued. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with crisp inks by Rudy Lapick and Jon D'Agostino, plus vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1977 classic captures a moment of lighthearted social awareness. The cover, by Stan Goldberg, perfectly captures the issue's playful tension.
