Laugh Comics Digest / Laugh Comics Digest Magazine / Laugh Digest Magazine #43

In "Spring Ding-a-Ling," Veronica launches a clever (and wildly over-the-top) scheme to keep Archie from spending time with Betty, claiming the new dress Betty’s wearing is cursed with an ancient Babylonian symbol that brings bad luck to any man who gets too close. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks, this 1982 classic from Archie’s Laugh Comics Digest Magazine is a delightfully absurd tale of teenage rivalry, with DeCarlo’s dynamic art on full display on the cover as well.
