Betty and Me #78

Pure summer fun radiates from this September 1976 issue, where Betty and Archie lounge on a sunny beach blanket while Jughead sits nearby — Betty cheerfully insisting that nothing's quite as soft as beach sand, and a lovesick Archie sighing "Wanna bet?" in response. Up top, a lively vignette adds even more beachside energy with a paddleboard mishap in progress. It's the kind of breezy, warmhearted cover that captures exactly what the Archie Series did so well in the mid-'70s.
