Betty and Veronica #72

In "The Hat," Archie's friends find themselves tangled in a mystery centered around a peculiar headwear that seems to have a mind of its own. Written by Victor Gorelick and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—supported by art from Bob Bolling, Bill Golliher, and inks by Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli, with coloring by Barry Grossman—this 1994 issue delivers a lighthearted yet oddly intriguing tale. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Alison Flood, features a festive, cartoonish scene that captures the story’s playful tone.
