In "Slam Dump," Betty takes center stage in a playful courtroom showdown, accusing Veronica of scheming to win Archie’s heart—only for the all-female jury to deliver a surprise verdict: they’re all after Archie too. With Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm and George Gladir’s sharp wit, this 1988 gem captures the classic rivalry with a twist, all wrapped in Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art.
