Written by George Gladir and illustrated with signature charm by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1984 issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
In "Shell Shock," Betty takes a break from being overlooked by the boys and heads to the beach to collect seashells. When Moose asks her to make a seashell box for Midge—after hearing how much she loved the one she made for the craft show—Archie and Reggie jump in, claiming they need one for their mothers, but really just want to impress Veronica.
In "Surprise Surprise," Betty’s attempt to tidy her room leads to an unexpected outing when she slips into her old Jane of the Jungle costume and heads out for errands—only to be mistaken for someone else by Archie, who, completely fooled, asks her out on a date. The story plays on classic comic misunderstandings with a playful twist, all set in the familiar world of Riverdale’s teen antics.
