Betty #43

In "For One Brief Moment," Betty and Reggie share a rare, quiet moment after a near-accident on the road, sparking a growing connection that catches Archie and Veronica off guard. Written by C. J. Henderson and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1996 issue captures a tender shift in the usual dynamics. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli perfectly frames the moment’s quiet tension.
