Betty and Me #22
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The 'Iron Fist'," Archie's jealousy takes center stage as Veronica courts the wealthy Tony Farthington, leaving Betty's quiet attempts to connect with Archie unnoticed. When Tony unexpectedly turns to Betty, the tables turn—and it's Veronica who's left on the outside, missing Archie's own quiet overtures. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo's signature style, Rudy Lapick's inks, Barry Grossman's colors, and Bill Yoshida's lettering, this 1969 gem captures the timeless, bittersweet rhythm of teenage crushes. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the moment's tension.
In "The Waitress," Betty takes a job at the Choc'lit Shoppe, much to Pop Tate’s delight, only to face an unexpectedly grueling test of patience—Veronica, determined to make her shift unforgettable, turns the diner into her personal stage of relentless, hilariously petty customer service. Written by a classic voice and illustrated with sharp, expressive flair, this six-page gem captures the chaos of teenage rivalry with a wink and a smirk.
