Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #74

The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jon D'Agostino perfectly captures that timeless Riverdale humor: Veronica is sprawled happily on a red sofa, chatting away on a cordless phone, completely unaware that Betty has just shown up at the front door — only to announce, with exasperated charm, that they were disconnected fifteen minutes ago. The Lodge family butler hovers in the background, adding a wonderfully deadpan touch to the whole situation. This 1998 digest packs in a generous collection of stories, including "Sea Escape," making it a fun grab for any fan of Archie's favorite duo.
