Betty and Veronica #49

In "The Shopper," Betty and Veronica navigate the chaos of a high-stakes shopping spree that turns unexpectedly surreal, all while a real-life comic convention appearance by writer Victor Gorelick and Archie staffers adds a meta twist to the story. With Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art capturing the series’ signature flair and Barry Grossman’s colors bringing the retail frenzy to life, this 1992 issue offers a playful, self-aware nod to the world of comics — just in time for the Great Eastern Comic Convention.
