Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #40

In "Summer Squall," the stifling heat of a Riverdale summer pushes Veronica to declare that even the most passionate kiss is ruined by humidity—leaving Archie searching for cooler comfort. Betty, ever the pragmatic friend, agrees with Veronica’s logic but finds the Choklit Shop’s air conditioning the perfect setting for a little make-out session of her own. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—inked by Jimmy DeCarlo, colored by Barry Grossman, and lettered by Bill Yoshida—this Double Digest tale captures the timeless teenage drama of romance, rivalry, and the quest for relief from the heat. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli, perfectly captures the mood of the season.
