Betty and Veronica #44

A sunny beach day turns into a seashell scramble on this charming 1991 cover, with Archie caught between Betty — busy collecting shells along the shoreline — and Veronica, who has already decorated her swimsuit with them and is asking if he's found any more. Dan DeCarlo and Alison Flood bring the Riverdale gang's breezy summer energy to life with bright colors and effortless humor, rounding out the scene with Jughead dozing in the surf in the background. It's a perfectly lighthearted snapshot of the eternal Betty-and-Veronica dynamic, framed in sand and saltwater.
