Betty and Me #99

Chemistry class has never looked this chaotic — on the cover of Betty and Me #99, Archie nervously frets about "bombing" his chem exam while a stern teacher looms behind him, Betty reacts in alarm beside bubbling, smoking lab equipment, and another student looks on wide-eyed from the background. Cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Jim DeCarlo give the scene that perfectly timed comedic energy the series does so well. With a Chem II textbook open on the desk and green liquid already pooling on the floor, this 1979 issue promises the kind of warm, good-natured humor that makes Riverdale so endlessly fun to visit.
