“Compliment Complex”

In "Compliment Complex," Betty and her mom tackle a spring cleaning spree, sorting through old toys bound for charity—each one sparking a whimsical daydream where she and Archie share a moment, just as things start to get sweet. But no matter how carefully she imagines their perfect scene, Veronica always finds a way to show up, turning the fantasy into something far more complicated. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg, Mike Esposito, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest tale captures the timeless charm of small-town crushes and playful rivalry. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Henry Scarpelli perfectly captures the mix of nostalgia and mischief.
