Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #206
In "Paper Caper," Betty and Veronica dismiss Miss Grundy as unremarkable—until they learn she once inspired a Nobel Prize-winning chemist, Dr. Mary Hoffman. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Jim DeCarlo, this 1973 classic reveals the quiet impact one teacher can have. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo, captures the moment of realization with his signature charm.
