Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #36

A snowy ski-lodge setting sets the stage for the eternal Betty-and-Veronica rivalry over Archie's affections in this 1993 digest from the Archie library. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo Jr. and inked by Alison Flood, captures the comedy perfectly: a beaming Veronica in a red ski suit has already warmed Archie up with a kiss (lipstick marks and all), while a flustered Betty, thermos in hand, gets the bad news via speech bubble. Packed with stories including "Buffet Ballyhoo!" — with writing by George Gladir and art by Stan Goldberg — this double digest delivers the cheerful, character-driven fun that makes the Riverdale gang such enduring company.
