Betty and Me #193

Published during Archie's 50th Anniversary celebration, this September 1991 issue of Betty and Me captures a perfectly sweet romantic moment courtesy of cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Alison Flood. Betty and Archie share a kiss on the sidewalk, their embrace multiplied endlessly in a set of mirrored panels — a visual gag that earns Archie's thought bubble declaration: "WOW! THIS HAS TO BE THE ULTIMATE KISS!" Peering in from the corner, a curly-haired onlooker (holding an ice cream cone, no less) watches the whole scene unfold, while familiar Riverdale faces crowd the upper corner, making this a warm, character-packed cover that perfectly fits the title's charm.
