Introduced in 1965, Betty and Me showcased the adventures and misadventures of Betty Cooper, one of Archie’s love interests, and her interactions with the world of Riverdale. The series featured a roster of talented artists and writers who contributed to its enduring popularity and success. One notable artist associated with “Betty and Me” was Dan DeCarlo, who provided vibrant and expressive artwork for the series. DeCarlo’s illustrations (often in partnership with inker Rudy Lapick) brought Betty and the other characters to life, capturing their personalities and emotions with great detail. DeCarlo modernized the look of Betty and other Archie characters in the late 1950s to their contemporary appearance and helped established the ‘house style’ of Archie Comics. Writers such as Frank Doyle and George Gladir crafted engaging and humorous stories that highlighted Betty’s distinctive charm and her relationships with other characters.
Supporting characters played an integral role in the Betty and Me series, adding depth and variety to the narratives. Alongside Betty and Archie, other notable characters from the Archie universe made frequent appearances, including Veronica, Jughead and Reggie. Another character who appeared less frequently but was equally interesting was Big Ethel, who often vied for Archie’s attention, added additional layers of storytelling and comedic interactions. The diverse cast of supporting characters enriched the world of Betty and Me, providing a backdrop for Betty’s adventures and giving readers a glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of life in Riverdale.
