Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #173

In "My Father's Betrayal Part 4," Veronica’s impromptu riverside stunt takes an unexpected turn when a fisherman offers her lunch in exchange for cleaning his catch—leading to a moment of choice that sends her back to paddling alongside Betty. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style and Jim DeCarlo’s inks, the story captures the classic Archie charm with a touch of playful tension. The cover by Rick Burchett and Terry Austin adds a sharp, nostalgic flair to this 2009 Double Digest installment.
