Betty and Me #36

This Archie Giant Series issue from 1971 drops Betty and Archie right into the middle of a "Famous Couples Masquerade," with Betty dressed as Jill (complete with bucket) and Archie as Jack — and their speech bubbles cheerfully confirm they represent Beauty and the Beast. The festive crowd around them is packed with costumed partygoers, including figures dressed as Lincoln, a Roman soldier, and Cleopatra, making Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick's cover a wonderfully busy celebration of costume fun. At 25 cents, this giant-sized issue delivers the warm, playful Riverdale charm the series is known for.
