Betty and Veronica #7

A costume party is in full swing on Dan DeCarlo's cover for this 1987 Archie Series issue, with Veronica stealing the scene in an elaborate red ball gown while Betty — dressed as a giant flashlight — quips that she wanted to make sure Veronica's costume didn't outshine hers. Archie, Jughead, and a crowd of costumed partygoers (including a Roman soldier and a robot) round out the festive chaos in fine Riverdale fashion. Published during Archie Comics' 45th Anniversary, this is a charming slice of the lighthearted rivalry and humor that makes Betty and Veronica such an enduring duo.
