Archie #223 Cover (DeCarlo/Lapick) (1972) (2nd Archie comic I ever read) (also published as the cover to the 1st "Best of Dan DeCarlo" Hardcover Edition)

December 1972, Archie #223 Cover, Dan DeCarlo pencils/Rudy Lapick inks,

A classic, twice-up, Archie cover featuring the whole cast! “Oh, Archie! You Shouldn’t Have!”

This is the cover to the 2nd Archie comic I ever read off the newsstand. I am very happy to be the proud custodian of this great Dan DeCarlo cover.

It features all the main characters: Archie (Andrews), Betty (Cooper), Veronica (Lodge), Jughead (Jones), Reggie (Mantle), Moose (Mason), and Dilton (Doily); The whole gang is wishing Betty a Happy Birthday!

This cover was also published as the cover to "The Best of Dan DeCarlo" hardcover edition,
