Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #163

This digest-sized collection opens Part 3 of the five-part "And the Winner Is..." story, and the cover by Dan Parent sets up the premise with a knowing wink. A red-haired girl walks alongside a smiling dark-haired guy named Brandon, prompting the speech bubble question "Do you think Brandon is as cute as Archie?" — while Betty, in the foreground, turns to a wide-eyed Veronica, who fires back "Who's Archie?" Packed with Riverdale charm and a fun ongoing storyline, this 2008 digest is a great entry point into the rivalry and romance fans love.
