Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #196

Betty and Veronica are suiting up as secret agents in this fun 2009 digest, with Betty in a sleek black catsuit striking an action pose on the left and Veronica equally spy-chic on the right — both arriving to rescue a very nonchalant Archie, who's already freed himself from a chair and some rope. The cover teases a shadowy mystery girl silhouetted in the background, with the bold question "Who is the Mystery Girl? Find out inside!" adding a satisfying air of intrigue to the espionage comedy. Dan Parent's cover art captures the series' breezy charm perfectly, delivering the kind of playful energy that makes these digest-sized collections such an easy treat to pick up.
