The Art Of Betty & Veronica

Description

Betty was the sweet-natured girl next door; Veronica was the raven-haired fashionista; and Archie is slap-bang in the middle of his greatest dilemma...Which girl should he choose? Along the way Betty and Veronica were both the best of friends and the worst of enemies. Sporting the latest trends, from bright polka dots, chic dresses and vivid colours, these comic girls were always at the forefront of style. The Art of Betty & Veronica is a beautifully-designed celebration of the world's most favourite females in comics history.
