Archie Giant Series Magazine #138
In "Pay Dates Incorporated," Veronica spins a wild tale to keep Archie from Betty, claiming the new dress Betty’s wearing is cursed with an ancient Babylonian symbol that brings bad luck to any man who gets near her. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—inked by Rudy Lapick and lettered by Marty Epp—this 1966 classic features a delightfully absurd scheme, all capped off with a cover by Dan DeCarlo and Vincent DeCarlo that captures the mischief perfectly.
