Betty and Veronica #52

Poor Veronica has come down with laryngitis, and the telephone company apparently couldn't be happier — that's the cheeky joke front and center on this June 1992 Archie Series issue, where a get-well card signed by the phone company sits among a room full of flowers and "get well soon" notes surrounding a glum Veronica on the couch. Betty, bright-eyed and grinning, delivers the gag with perfect comedic timing, and Dan DeCarlo and Alison Flood's cover art captures the duo's playful dynamic with all the warmth and clean-line charm the series is known for. A fun, lighthearted snapshot of Riverdale's favorite friendship at its teasing best.
