Betty and Veronica #221

In "The Big Prize," Betty and Veronica’s friendly rivalry takes a surprising turn when a mix-up between two seemingly identical Trendi handbags threatens Veronica’s carefully curated social image. Written by Barbara Slate and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Jeff Shultz—inked by Al Milgrom and colored by Barry Grossman—this 2006 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a modern twist, all wrapped in a cover by Shultz and Milgrom that perfectly captures the drama.
