Betty and Veronica #1

The long-running Betty and Veronica series gets a fresh start with this 1987 #1 Collectors' Edition, and Dan DeCarlo's cover sets the tone perfectly — Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge each introduce themselves directly to the reader via speech bubbles while a thoroughly flustered Archie sits sandwiched between them at Pop's soda counter, declaring he's "in trouble." It's a warm, charming snapshot of Riverdale's most famous rivalry, with Jughead lurking in the background and a soda jerk hovering nearby, capturing the cheerful chaos that made these characters beloved. Frank Doyle handles the writing duties inside, with art by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Jim DeCarlo keeping everything crisp and full of personality.
