Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #88

The cover by Dan DeCarlo (pencils) and Jon D'Agostino (inks) sets the scene perfectly: Betty leans in to whisper a secret while Veronica — hairdryer in hand and looking a little exasperated — fires back, "Betty! Don't you TRUST me?" It's a delightfully relatable moment of best-friend drama over milkshakes and snacks at the diner counter. This 2000 digest packs in plenty of Riverdale fun, including the intriguingly titled story "The Mysterious Stranger!" from a creative team featuring writer Hal Smith and artist Fernando Ruiz.
