Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #68
In "Take Me to Your Leader," Betty’s sudden embrace of the beatnik scene—complete with bongo drums, jazz, and a frayed sweater—has the whole town buzzing. When Veronica sends Archie and Reggie to bring her back to normal, they find themselves reluctantly drawn into the beatnik groove, one by one—though Jughead remains unmoved, convinced they’re just copying his cool. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s expressive art and Rudy Lapick’s inks, this 1961 classic features a cover by Bob White that captures the era’s playful spirit.
