Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #242
In "The Invalid," Archie and Reggie find themselves caught in a whirlwind of mistaken pride when they overhear Betty and Veronica discussing a coin toss to decide which boy gets a date—each assuming they’re the one being chosen. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, this 1976 classic captures the playful tension of teenage rivalry, with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, all under a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
