Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #266
In "A Sound Solution," Veronica sets a clever trap for Brenda Parr, determined to expose her as unfit to write for the school paper—only to find herself caught in a web of unintended consequences when Brenda's unusual approach to journalism leads to a surprising turn of events. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—pencils and inks by Dan DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman—this 1978 classic captures the playful rivalry and wit that define the Archie universe. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the moment’s tension with its dynamic, expressive style.
