“Who Needs Archie?”

In "Who Needs Archie?", Betty and Veronica take a bold step by following advice from a cable TV dating show and deciding to go their separate ways—only to find their sudden independence brings more attention than they bargained for. Written by Bill Golliher and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Fernando Ruiz, this 1998 issue captures the duo’s chaotic new chapter with humor and heart, all under the iconic cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jon D'Agostino.
