The Betty & Veronica series has always been a big seller for Archie Comics, sometimes even more popular than Archie! This is a collection of stories that ran in editions of Betty & Veronica Summer Fun, which was a part of the Archie Giant Series, a series of comics that had different titles. There is a forward from Dawn Wells, who draws comparisons from her character Mary Ann from Gilligans Island to Betty. The first story is from Betty & Veronica Summer Fun #8, from 1960, and the latest they go is Betty & Veronica Summer Fun #28, from 1964. The stories of course mostly involve Betty & Veronica's fight over Archie, but also about their friendship. The stories are funny and very enjoyable. Let's hope there's another book that comes out, with more stories. I certainly remember reading the comics during the summer and enjoying each and every one of them.

This book is simply excellent. It has a grip of Betty & Veronica stories and a wopping amount of drawings by amazing archie comic artist Dan Decarlo. The book compiles most of the early (and very hard to come by) Betty & Veronica Summer Fun comics from the Archie Giant series, and is very worth the buy.

Ok, so I truly loved Betty & Veronica the most from everything. Now add the beach and all their amazing bathing suits through the time and this was so great! If you love a Betty & Veronica centered comic then this one is for you. Watch them compete for Archie's love and other guys on the beach. BEAUTIFUL!

Winter here in Chicago isn't always enjoyable, so I thought I'd brighten things up a bit with a little summer fun.

I'm so glad I got this somewhat thin-sized paperback- it's better than I expected! The art from Dan Decarlo is easily my favorite aspect here. I remember Archie from when I was a kid, but for whatever reason I just never gave these comics a chance until recently. This brief collection of summer stories from the '60s feels like it was written only yesterday. They've really stood the test of time.

I highly recommend this for the art, characters, stories, and fun. It really brightens my day.

The book arrived in a timely manner. I couldn't find it in a regular book store so it was very useful.

This is another great set reprinting classic strips from the glory years of "Archie Comics." This book collects a bunch of stories from the book "Betty & Veronica Summer Fun", which debuted in the early 1960s. This anthology sticks to the book's early years which were arguably one of the greatest periods for Archie art. The stories are typical battle-of-the-sexes material, but oh, what a great battle it is when these two gals are around! This is one of the most lighthearted and effervescent "Archie" reprint books to date. Highly recommended! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)

I loved this book! I was looking forward to reading it, since I first saw it advertised in the Archie comics! My god child loved it too, so I got her a copy for Christmas! She enjoyed it as well! I highly recommend it for fans of Archie's girls!

Archie comics have always been one of the more pure fun comics still around. It's nice to view some samples from the 1960's, especially of the vivacious Betty and Veronica. The art is clean and crisp and brought up to specs of newer comics and as usual, always fun to read.

Well, first of all! I did not buy the book for me. I bought it for my friend grand-daughter! And I am sure she loves it!
Thank you,
