Betty and Veronica #186

In "Soap Operations," Betty drifts off during a marathon of her favorite soap opera and wakes to find the entire Archie gang caught in a surreal, melodramatic storyline straight out of the show. Written by Angelo DeCesare and illustrated by Jeff Shultz, with inks by Henry Scarpelli, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 2003 issue turns the familiar cast into dramatic performers in a dreamy, over-the-top telenovela. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Jon D'Agostino captures the episode’s campy, cinematic flair.
