That Wilkin Boy #35

In "A Date with Disaster," Veronica takes drastic measures to keep Archie’s attention when a new girl shows up with culinary skills—so she counters with her own secret weapon: Hostess Fruit Pies. Written and illustrated with signature charm by Dan DeCarlo, this 1976 classic sees Veronica’s baking prowess put to the ultimate test, with Rudy Lapick’s inks and Barry Grossman’s colors bringing the sweet showdown to life. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick captures the moment perfectly—a 25-cent comic with a deliciously dramatic twist.
