Betty and Veronica #155

Poor Archie never saw it coming — the cover of Betty and Veronica #155 delivers a perfectly timed gag as a cell phone comes hurtling through the air with a resounding "TWACK!" right into the back of his head, while a stunned Betty sits beside him on the park bench and an alarmed Veronica reacts nearby. Up in the tree above, two cheerful onlookers watch the chaos unfold, with a speech bubble cheekily declaring, "Here's an example of wireless communication!" Cover pencils by Jeff Shultz and inks by Henry Scarpelli give the scene that warm, expressive energy that made Riverdale's gang so enduringly fun in 2001.
