Archie Giant Series Magazine #582
In "Turnabout," Veronica’s competitive streak flares when she’s furious that Betty is wearing the same dress style to school—only to see her own version torn in a moment of frustration. Undeterred, Betty quietly repairs the damage in the sewing room, turning a petty rivalry into a quiet triumph of craftsmanship. Written by Kathleen Webb and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils and inks by Dan DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida—this 1988 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a fresh, needlepoint-worthy twist. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the moment of tension and style.
