Betty and Me #151
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Ideal Date," Archie’s plans to take Veronica to a big concert hit a snag when he sees how popular Betty has become at her hardware store job—so he swaps his date and asks her instead. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.’s art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, and Barry Grossman’s colors, this 1986 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a sweet twist. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the moment’s nervous energy.
Archie stumbles upon a notebook page where Betty spills her thoughts on the perfect date, and with Jughead’s help, he’s determined to turn her dream into reality—no matter how awkward the execution. Written by a team known for their sharp wit and heartfelt humor, this six-page gem captures the sweet, slightly chaotic energy of teenage crushes and the lengths friends will go to impress someone they like.
Archie lands tickets to a major concert and sets his sights on asking Veronica—until he sees how crowded Betty’s at the hardware store, where she’s working. With a sudden shift in heart and momentum, he decides to ask her instead.
