Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #21
In "The Swingers," Betty and Veronica find themselves at odds over a glamorous dress they both admire—Betty, determined to have it on her own terms, stitches a handmade copy, while Veronica, barred from purchasing it herself, finds another way to stir the pot. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—penciled and inked by DeCarlo himself, with vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and crisp lettering by Vincent DeCarlo—the issue captures the classic rivalry with a touch of sly humor. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly frames the tension, a 1.25 USD comic from 1986 that’s still a delight for fans of Archie’s timeless teen drama.
