Gwandanaland Comics #2447

A sunny poolside scene sets the tone for this oversized 2019 collection from Gwandanaland Comics, as Betty and Veronica trade witty banter about Veronica's impressive 23-bathing-suit wardrobe — two of which are apparently reserved strictly for swimming. Clocking in at over 575 pages, Gal Pals Giant #1 is a generous treasury of Archie-universe stories spotlighting the girls, with the cover's additional glimpses of supermarket shopping and a courtroom-style dispute hinting at the cheerful, slice-of-life comedy packed inside. At that page count, this is a genuinely satisfying read for anyone who loves the classic Riverdale gang.
