Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #70
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Party Anyone?", Veronica’s rivalry with Betty takes a sartorial turn when she’s furious that her rival is wearing the same dress—so furious she tears it. Undeterred, Betty repairs the damage in the sewing room, turning a moment of frustration into a quiet triumph. Written by Kathleen Webb and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this Double Digest issue captures the classic charm of Archie’s teen antics. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Alison Flood, perfectly captures the playful tension.
In "The Bookworms," Betty and Archie are tasked with sorting through the library’s dusty stacks under Miss Grundy’s watchful eye, a chore that turns into an unexpected mission of literary cleanup. Meanwhile, left behind in class, Reggie and Veronica hatch a mischievous plan to get back at the duo for their lucky break — but just how far will their prank go?
In "Too Hot to Handle," prehistoric Archie and the gang trade chilly caves for a sunnier climate, only to find the warmer region teeming with surprisingly aggressive dinosaurs and other perilous creatures. Their brief vacation turns into a swift retreat as they learn that even the tropics have their drawbacks—especially when you're not equipped for the wild.
Veronica’s furious when she realizes Betty’s wearing the exact same dress to school—so she tears the hem in a fit of pique. But Betty, unfazed, repairs the damage in the sewing room and turns the mishap into a quiet triumph.
