Betty and Veronica Spectacular #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Genie Hi-Jinx," Veronica stumbles upon a magical lamp and, in a flash of mischief, wishes for Archie to be her eternal slave—only for Betty to quickly follow suit with her own lamp, sparking a hilarious, chaotic battle of wishes. With Dan DeCarlo’s classic art and Dan Parent’s sharp scripting, this 1993 Archie adventure delivers pure, lighthearted fun as the two girls’ competing genies turn Riverdale upside down. The cover, penciled by DeCarlo and inked by Alison Flood, captures the zany energy perfectly.
When Veronica finds a genie in a thrift-store lamp and wishes for Archie to be her eternal slave, Betty isn’t about to be left behind—she races out to buy her own lamp, hoping for the same magic. Soon, the two girls are caught in a whirlwind of chaotic wishcraft as their rival genies send Archie bouncing from one house to the next, with no end in sight.
In "Flee This Market," Betty and Veronica find themselves at odds at the school’s flea market, where they’re selling off unwanted items—including the very genie lamps from their past misadventures. When each accidentally offends the other by selling something once given as a gift, the friendly rivalry sparks a tense, unexpected turn.
In "Clothes' Minded!" from Betty and Veronica Spectacular #3 (1993), Betty rallies the school for a dance that celebrates style over spending, turning thrift-store finds into fashion statements. With a mix of creativity and thrift, the girls dive into the hunt for unique looks—no budget, no problem.
