Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #266
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "Double Cross Date!", Veronica enlists Betty for a cleverly orchestrated double date with Archie and the son of a Lodge business associate, setting up a charmingly awkward evening where each boy believes he's the one winning Veronica’s attention. With playful tension and classic Riverdale charm, the girls navigate the mix-up with wit and style.
When Archie declines to help Veronica track down her escaped Zambesia owl—preferring to support Betty’s marathon training—Betty stumbles upon the bird along the race route just as a sudden thunderstorm rolls in.
Veronica’s convinced she’s a shoo-in for the cheerleading squad, so she’s already had a custom outfit made—complete with flair, confidence, and a hint of mischief. But when Jo shows up with a surprising level of skill and poise, the tryouts take a turn neither of them expected.
