Betty #187

Betty and Veronica stand front and center, all smiles, while a crowd of wide-eyed girls surrounds them — all dwarfed by a pair of enormous, narrowed green eyes and a sweep of red hair looming ominously overhead. The cover sets up "Battle of the BFFs! Part One" with a wonderfully dramatic visual promise: someone out there is sizing up Riverdale's best friends, and the reaction from the crowd says this rivalry is about to get serious. Dan Parent's cover pencils and inks make this 2010 Archie Comics issue a fun, energetic read for any fan of Betty's adventures.
