Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #90
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Team Esteem," Betty and Veronica find themselves in the English countryside when the Lodges are invited to stay with the eccentric Lord and Lady Faversham. Bored by the isolated ways of the younger Favershams, the two friends take it upon themselves to show them how to connect with the "common folk." Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1997 digest tale features a charming cover by Dan DeCarlo.
In "Nature Calls," Betty convinces Veronica to ditch Riverdale's spotlight for a weekend hike in the woods—where, she promises, no one will know who they are. With a shared love of adventure and a dash of mischief, the two find themselves navigating trails, wildlife, and each other’s quirks in a rare moment of unplanned camaraderie.
In "Button-Button," Archie and Mr. Lodge face a kitchen crisis when Gaston departs, leaving behind the Lodges' high-tech, push-button-operated kitchen. With appliances and drawers that vanish at the touch of a button, the duo must navigate the baffling system before dinner’s ruined—no small feat when even the fridge seems to have a mind of its own.
In "The Good Deed," Betty and Veronica find themselves in a whirlwind of English aristocracy when the Lodges are invited to stay with Lord and Lady Faversham. Bored by the stuffy routines of the younger Favershams, the two friends take it upon themselves to show them how to truly mingle with the "common folk" — with playful chaos and plenty of mischief.
In "The Victory," Betty finds herself unexpectedly motivated when a little anger fuels her swimming prowess—so much so that Coach Clayton, Veronica, Archie, and Jughead team up to stir up just the right kind of fury before the big Swim Meet. With playful sabotage and a dash of mischief, they set the stage for a race where emotions run as fast as the swimmers.
In "No Soap," Aunt Hilda tries to share the emotional drama of a TV soap opera with Sabrina and Harvey, but Harvey’s constant laughter disrupts the mood—so she sends his car rolling down the street to quiet him. The story captures a lighthearted moment of family chaos, blending humor and fantasy in classic Betty and Veronica style.
In "The Hitter," Archie and Jughead are quick to recruit a new neighborhood kid after spotting their impressive baseball skills—only to be stumped when the teen refuses to admit she’s a girl, even after a few rounds of playful persuasion. It takes the combined efforts of Veronica and Betty to finally get the truth out, setting off a lighthearted chain of reactions neither the boys nor the newcomer expected.
