About this Collection

This collection brings together the complete 'Love Showdown' storyline from Archie Comics, where Archie Andrews finds himself caught in a dramatic tug-of-war between Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge as they compete for his affections. Featuring appearances from the entire Riverdale gang—including Jughead Jones, Reggie Mantle, Cheryl Blossom, and even a cameo by rock star Alice Cooper—this 1994 volume captures the classic love triangle with humor and high stakes.

In "Love Showdown Chapter 1 Part 1," Betty finds herself caught in a web of mistaken tickets and quiet sabotage when Veronica arrives with news that she and Archie are going to the Charity Ball—tickets that happen to be misprinted with the wrong date, just like the ones Betty has. When Jughead drops a hint that Veronica may have been behind the mix-up, Betty’s resolve hardens, and she makes a bold decision: she’s going to crash the ball. Written by Bill Golliher and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Ken Selig, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue’s cover by Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli captures the drama with classic flair.

As Betty finishes work on Archie's car, Veronica shows up and tells Betty that she and Archie are headed for the Charity Ball. Veronica says some tickets were misprinted with the wrong date, like the ones Betty has. Later at Pops, Jughead tells Betty he saw Veronica printing up tickets with the wrong dates, ensuring Betty would get some when they were donated to her father's business. Furious, Betty decides to crash the ball.
