Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #250
In "Growing Pains," a sweltering summer day tests Veronica’s patience as she dreads stepping out of her air-conditioned home for a date with Archie—until he finds a clever way to cool things down, just in time for a goodnight kiss. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1976 classic captures the charm of small-town romance with a touch of summer heat. The cover, penciled and inked by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the moment’s playful tension.
