Betty #49
In "The Sculpture Vultures," a 1997 Archie Comics gem, Veronica finds herself under the weather at the Cooper house while her parents are away—leaving Betty to navigate a day of school with an unexpected, urgent roommate. With a flu-induced craving for attention, Veronica doesn’t hesitate to put her new pager to work, testing the limits of friendship one frantic beep at a time. Written by Dan Parent and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg (pencils), Mike Esposito (inks), Barry Grossman (colors), and Bill Yoshida (letters), the cover by Goldberg and Esposito captures the playful chaos perfectly.
