That's right-- Betty OR Veronica? Ginger or Mary Ann? Chocolate or Vanilla? Scotch or Bourbon? Chevy or Ford? Paper or Plastic? Josie or the Pussycats? The choices in life can be agonizing.

For this week, post your best or favorite Archie-adjacent cover featuring either Betty or Veronica, but NOT both.

The cover can be from ANY title in the Archie line. The cover can also feature other characters (Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Big Ethel, Hotdog, etc) but you must make a choice between Betty and Veronica, as they cannot both be on the same cover (corner box illustrations are an exception to the requirement and are acceptable--see my example below).

The cover can be from any era as long as it meets the classic comic 10-year requirement as described in the rules:

The Cover Contest Constitution:

Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.

- Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before 7 June 2013. (not a difficult bit of compliance this week.)

- Please include the title and the issue number of the comic in bold (e.g. Soldier Comics 8, March 1953) in case some posters cannot see your image.

- Covers must be posted before voting begins.

- Voting takes place on Tuesday, 13 June 2023, beginning at 12:01 am PST and ending at 11:59 am PST.

- Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most in bold.

- The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends.

- The winner chooses the theme for the next week's contest.

- If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't vote for it; please don't post disparaging remarks about it.

- If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins.


Have fun, everybody!

And since I can't really win two contests in a row (that I know of), I'm posting this as my example to immediately take it out of the running--
