Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #37

Part of the long-running Archie Digest Library, this 128-page digest delivers plenty of Betty and Veronica fun for $1.50. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo, drops us right into the Blue & Gold Editorial Office, where a surprised Betty walks in to find Veronica seated at a typewriter, coolly asking Archie — who stands nearby looking a little sheepish — whether the word "nerd" is spelled with an "E" or a "U." It's a perfectly timed snapshot of the girls' playful rivalry and Riverdale's signature humor, making this 1989 digest an easy pick for fans of the whole gang.
