Betty and Veronica #12

A tennis match brings out the best banter between best friends on Dan DeCarlo's charming cover for this 1988 installment of Betty and Veronica. Betty laments that the game gives her an inferiority complex, while a sporty, red-clad Veronica delivers the perfectly deadpan comeback — their rackets in hand and a crowd of onlookers visible in the background. With familiar Riverdale faces peering in from the upper corner, it's a warm snapshot of the witty, good-natured rivalry that made this series such a delight.
