Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #292
In "A Germ of an Idea," Veronica hatches a clever plan to steal the gang’s attention by planting a travel brochure near Betty, hoping to trick her into skiing at Mount Royal while Veronica secretly heads to Snow Valley. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this 1980 issue captures the playful rivalry between Betty and Veronica in classic Archie style. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo, perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
