Archie Giant Series Magazine #224
In "Plan of Battle," Veronica spins a web of mischief when she hears Archie’s headed to Betty’s for a study session, convincing Betty’s mom to send Jughead over as a chaperone—only for Betty to turn the tables with a well-timed offer of food to get Jughead to leave her alone with Archie. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—inked by Rudy Lapick and colored by Barry Grossman—this 1974 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a playful, clever twist. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
