Betty and Me #88

At a sunny tennis court, Archie sits on a bench getting a kiss from Betty while a racket-wielding Veronica calls out "Archie, are you warmed up?" — and his blushing, heart-filled reply of "Am I ever!" says it all. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo perfectly captures the cheerful romantic triangle at the heart of the series, with a baseball bat and ball tossed at Archie's feet adding a fun sporting touch. This October 1977 issue, featuring the story "CB Spree" with interiors by Frank Doyle and Stan Goldberg, is a charming snapshot of Riverdale's most enduring love story.
