Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #137
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Mind Your Own Business Suits!", Veronica finds herself ruling a dream version of Riverdale after a fit of frustration with her father’s refusal to indulge her. Written by Angelo DeCesare and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, inks by Henry Scarpelli, and colors by Barry Grossman, the story explores her reign with a mix of whimsy and sharp wit. The cover, by Jeff Shultz and Jon D'Agostino, captures the playful chaos of her royal fantasy.
Betty is sure her sleek business suit is the standout choice for "Dress for Success" day—until she spots Veronica, Midge, and Nancy all wearing the exact same one. Now she’s left wondering if her confidence was just a fashion fumble in a sea of identical power suits.
When Veronica sprains her ankle during a gymnastics routine, she’s handed a cane to help her get around—only to discover it’s a surprisingly effective (and unintentionally chaotic) tool for keeping her rivals on their toes. The moment she picks it up, the balance of power at Riverdale High shifts in ways no one saw coming.
When Moose is booted from the football team for poor grades, Betty and Midge step in to tutor him for a crucial make-up exam—proving that real heroism isn’t always about touchdowns, but about helping a friend turn things around.
In "The Me-ning of Life," Veronica’s tantrum after her father denies her wishes sends her into a dream where she rules Riverdale with absolute, if hilariously self-centered, authority—only to discover that even a queen needs a nap.
Veronica’s morning jog takes a surprising turn when she catches Archie and Betty bonding over their routine—so she hires a lookalike to jog with them, hoping to stay cool and collected while keeping up the illusion. The real test? Keeping her cover while dodging sweat, suspicion, and the growing mystery of who’s really behind the double.
In "Bear Fare," Archie's world tilts when he learns Betty's baking is for someone named Andy—only to discover the mystery recipient isn't a rival suitor, but a very real bear at the Riverdale Zoo. The story unfolds with playful tension as Archie's jealousy leads him on a whimsical chase, all while Betty's kindness extends beyond the expected.
In "Play Mate," Little Veronica climbs up to Little Betty’s window to play, only to find her friend confined indoors with the measles—leaving their plans for a game of tag in limbo.
