Betty #150

The 150th Collector's Edition of Betty is a genuine milestone for Archie Comics fans, and this celebratory 2005 cover delivers the warmth and energy the series is known for. Stan Goldberg's pencils (inked by Bob Smith) put a confident, smiling Betty front and center on Main Street, Riverdale — ponytail swinging, arm raised in greeting, inviting readers in with the speech bubble "Welcome to Riverdale, USA! Let ME be your guide!" — while a cheerful crowd of Riverdale residents, including a recognizable letterman-jacketed Archie, cheer her on behind her. It's a fun, feel-good snapshot of everything that has made this title last 150 issues.
