Betty and Veronica Spectacular #83

In "The Battle for Riverdale Cove," Archie’s gang turns Riverdale Cove into a showdown arena as the boys and girls compete in a series of athletic contests to claim ownership of the pond. With Cheryl orchestrating the games to favor her own team, the stakes rise higher than ever—especially when the outcome could mean more than just bragging rights. Written and illustrated by Dan Parent, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, this 2008 issue features a cover by Dan Parent that captures the playful tension perfectly.
