With a mix of creativity and determination, she sets out to make something unique—no store-bought shortcuts, just imagination and heart. Written by Barbara Slate and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art, Mike Esposito’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1997 issue captures the quiet charm of small-town romance. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly frames the moment, full of holiday warmth and girl-next-door sincerity.
In "One-of-a-Kind," Betty takes on a heartfelt challenge: crafting a gift for Archie that’s truly special, not just expensive, to win his attention and a spot at the Christmas dance. With creativity and care, she sets out to make something uniquely hers—proof that thoughtfulness can shine brighter than any store-bought present.
In "Baby, It's Cold Inside!" from Betty #46 (1997), Betty and Alice team up to beat the chill when her dad refuses to turn up the heat, turning their cozy winter evening into a playful test of warmth and ingenuity.
Betty’s inspired by Veronica’s fresh new look, but when she can’t afford a salon visit, she takes matters into her own hands—dyeing her hair pink with a batch of artificial drink mix. The results are… unexpected, to say the least, and suddenly Betty’s trying to keep her bold new color under wraps.
