Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #271
In "Hit and Run," Archie and Chuck are amused—and slightly alarmed—when they catch Betty and Veronica struggling with softball basics, leading them to agree to a ten-run head start in the upcoming game between the girls and boys. But when the game begins, the girls' skills shift dramatically, leaving everyone wondering just how fast they’ve improved. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—penciled and inked by the legendary duo, with colors by Barry Grossman—this 1978 classic features a cover by Dan DeCarlo that captures the playful tension of the moment.
