Betty #56
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Lesson," Betty faces a familiar yet fresh challenge as the school's dress code becomes a flashpoint, prompting a story that’s as much about personal choice as it is about standing up for what’s right. Written by Victor Gorelick and colored by Barry Grossman, this 1997 issue continues Archie’s multi-title crossover arc with a grounded, character-driven moment that invites readers to weigh in on school policies—just as the comic itself did in real time. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Mike Esposito, captures Betty’s thoughtful resolve with classic flair.
In "Get the Message," Betty tries a playful way to remind Archie about a party by writing the address on a tissue box—only to discover her mother has already tossed it out. The small, quiet moment captures a familiar teenage frustration, where a simple gesture slips through the cracks.
