Betty #143

A winter outing turns sweetly romantic on this 2005 issue of Betty, with cover art by penciler Stan Goldberg and inker Bob Smith. The cover shows Betty and Archie gliding together on an ice rink, his arm around her as he charmingly answers her question about pairs skating — while a hapless skater wipes out in the background for some extra comic relief. It's a charming snapshot of Riverdale warmth, and the interior story "Shop Till You Drop!" promises plenty more fun from writer Mike Pellowski and artist Stan Goldberg.
