In "Fantasy Girl," Betty takes a new job as a waitress, but her nerves flare when she’s assigned to serve Archie and Janice—on a date. The tension is thick as Betty tries to keep her cool, especially when Janice’s attitude turns icy toward everyone in the diner. Written by Bill Golliher and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by John Lowe, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, this 2008 issue captures the awkward charm of small-town drama. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino, perfectly captures the moment’s electric tension.
