Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #18
In "Coat of Alms," Betty and Veronica navigate the absurd world of teenage fashion with a lineup of hilariously impractical outfits, from a rain barrel designed to boost allowances to an electrically heated raccoon coat—each item a satirical take on teenage trends and social pressures. Penciled with sharp wit by Samm Schwartz, this 1955 gem captures the playful spirit of Archie’s Girls with a delightfully exaggerated take on style and teenage ambition.
