Betty #137

In "Givers and Takers," Betty takes a surprising turn when an old diary sparks a moment of reflection on her relationship with Archie—just as things start to feel a little too heavy, she finds a fresh perspective. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s signature art and Bob Smith’s crisp inks, this 2004 issue captures a quiet, character-driven moment in Riverdale, with Barry Grossman’s colors and Vickie Williams’ lettering adding warmth to the story. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith perfectly frames the mood of a girl on the edge of a revelation.
