Betty and Me #162

Summer fun takes center stage on Dan DeCarlo's sun-splashed cover for this 1987 installment, where Betty and Archie zip across the waves together on a bright red jet ski — Archie clearly more interested in Betty than the scenery, as his quip about the "pretty nice" jet skis makes plain. Back on the dock, a grinning onlooker watches the pair with amusement, while a smaller vignette in the background shows another figure waterskiing behind a speedboat. Published during Archie Comics' 45th Anniversary (proudly badged on the cover), Betty and Me #162 is a cheerful slice of classic Riverdale summertime charm.
