Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #266

In "The Princess and the Pea," Archie’s reluctance to help Veronica track down her escaped Zambesia owl—while supporting Betty’s marathon run—leads to a stormy twist when Betty spots the bird along the race route as a thunderstorm approaches. Written by Bob Bolling and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Ken Selig, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest tale blends classic Archie charm with a dash of urgency. The cover by Jeff Shultz captures the moment’s tension in vivid detail.
