Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #79

In "Spend Yourself Sick!", Veronica’s competitive streak ignites when she learns Archie will be coaching the girls’ basketball team—prompting her to go all out to secure a spot while trying to sideline Betty, who’s already on the team and eyeing a role on the school paper. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Alison Flood’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1996 digest issue captures the classic rivalry with playful energy. The cover by Dan Parent and Henry Scarpelli perfectly captures the high-stakes fun.
