Betty and Me #48
In "A Little Fish in a Big Pond," Archie finds himself auditioning replacements for The Archies while Veronica is away—only to be gently steered by her into signing the surprisingly talented but unassuming Raquel. With Veronica out of town and Raquel on board, Betty suddenly finds herself with Archie’s full attention, setting the stage for a familiar kind of playful tension. Written by Dan DeCarlo and featuring a cover by Dan DeCarlo, this 1973 issue captures the lighthearted charm of small-town high school life with a classic Archie twist.
