Betty and Veronica #77

The joke writes itself right on the cover of this 1994 Archie Comics entry: Betty and Veronica are each strutting through the school hallway wearing matching red "Archie Loves ___" shirts — each personalized with her own name — while Veronica smugly thinks she's the one with the one-of-a-kind shirt. Dan DeCarlo's pencils and Alison Flood's inks capture the girls' breezy confidence with pitch-perfect comedic timing, making the irony land the moment your eye travels from one shirt to the other. It's a warm, witty snapshot of the rivalry and friendship that has always made this title such a pleasure.
