Betty's Diary #38

This December 1990 issue of Betty's Diary presents its cover as a charming scrapbook page, with Dan DeCarlo's art arranging Betty's cherished memories — a childhood snapshot of young Betty and Archie tumbling in the backyard, a wilted "first flower" (her mom called it a weed), a handwritten classroom note from Archie misspelling "spelling," and a sunny beach scene with Betty, Archie, and Veronica. It's a warm, nostalgic layout that captures Betty's hopeful, good-humored heart perfectly. Fans of the Archie gang will find this a genuinely sweet slice of Riverdale life.
