Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #260
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Geeks Unite!", Betty finds herself daydreaming in the library, imagining her friendship with Archie as epic literary duos like Romeo and Juliet, Tarzan and Jane, Samson and Delilah, and Antony and Cleopatra—each scenario blending classic romance with a touch of playful exaggeration. Written by Kathleen Webb and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest tale captures the charm and whimsy of teenage romance with a literary twist. The cover, by Bill Golliher and Bob Smith, perfectly captures the story’s lighthearted spirit.
When Della insists Sabrina wear a full witch’s outfit to town, the look is anything but welcome—until Kevin Kline accidentally makes it the season’s hottest trend.
Betty’s determined to make the last dance special, pouring every spare moment into saving for the perfect dress—only to wake up missing the whole event. With Archie waiting and her plans unraveling, she’s left wondering if she’ll ever get the chance to make things right.
In a quiet library moment, Betty finds herself daydreaming about romance, picturing herself and Archie as legendary pairs like Romeo and Juliet or Antony and Cleopatra—each fantasy unfolding in her mind as she flips through the pages of a book.
Betty and Veronica try to spend a relaxing afternoon together, but quickly find their plans clash in ways both surprising and hilariously inevitable. As they navigate mismatched interests, the real question isn’t what they’ll do—it’s whether they’ll still want to do it together.
In "Bill Collector," Betty’s date Bill suddenly finds himself short on cash—just as Veronica swoops in with a generous offer to cover the bill, stealing him away with a wink and a smile. Betty’s surprise turns to disbelief when she discovers Bill wasn’t actually broke after all, just… stingy.
