Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #148
In "Brash Splash," the gang hits the drive-in movie scene in 1968, with Veronica torn between staying in Archie’s chilly car or joining Betty in Reggie’s—neither choice quite right, and both full of unspoken tension. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this issue captures the classic charm of Archie’s world with a touch of playful drama. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly frames the scene’s lighthearted yet charged atmosphere.
