Betty #19
In "Love Showdown, Part II," Betty finds herself caught in a clever trap when Veronica slips her tickets to the Lodge Charity Ball—except the date is wrong. With Archie’s attention at stake, Betty’s attempt to ask him on a date could backfire in the most embarrassing way. Written by Bill Golliher and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Ken Selig, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue unfolds with all the charm and tension of a classic Archie rivalry. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli captures the drama in full swing.
