Life with Archie #11

The age-old question — Betty or Veronica? — sits front and center on this August 2011 issue of Life with Archie, with a beaming Archie Andrews getting simultaneous kisses on the cheek from a blonde Betty on his left and a dark-haired Veronica on his right, Riverdale High and Lodge Industries visible in the split background behind them. The cover's dual-storyline format ("Archie Marries Betty vs. Archie Marries Veronica") gives readers both romantic outcomes in one magazine, and Norm Breyfogle's clean, expressive linework — handled entirely by Breyfogle on both pencils and inks — brings a warm, polished energy to the familiar love triangle. It's a genuinely fun package of all-new stories that captures exactly why this series earned praise as "the most fascinating Archie comic ever printed.
