Betty #55

The cover of Betty #55, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Alison Flood, delivers a wonderfully relatable moment: Betty shows up in full thrift-store '70s regalia — bell-bottoms with a peace sign, a flower-print top, and platform shoes, a "Woodstock" poster tucked among her Thrift Shop bags — while an older woman holds up one of the same outfits and reveals she donated those very clothes back in 1976. It's a charming generational gag that captures Betty's endearing enthusiasm and Archie Comics' light, warm sense of humor perfectly. A fun November 1997 entry in Betty's solo series.
