We think we know Betty and Veronica from Archie comics, but we
don't. Far more than just Archie's girlfriends, this book shows how
the girls adapted to be compelling, relevant characters for each
new generation over the past eighty years. Betty, Veronica, and the
rest of the Riverdale gang appear to be frozen in time in Archie
comics. They are perpetual high schoolers, recycling the same basic
plotlines over and over in their wholesome, small-town American
world. However, there is much more to Betty and Veronica than the
broad archetypes and cliched storytelling suggests. In Betty and
Veronica: The Leading Ladies of Riverdale, Tim Hanley explores the
complexity behind these two iconic characters. We know Betty and
Veronica as Archie's girlfriends, but that's just the
beginning-they are their own women with evolving motivations and
aims. From fighting over Archie to tackling women's lib to chasing
down serial killers on Riverdale, their friendship has endured and
grown through decades of shifting characterizations and social
change. Exploring their past offers unique insights into the ways
life has progressed for young women over the past eighty years, and
shows us the hidden strengths and secret depths of these pop
culture icons. Featuring full-color comic book cover art that spans
nearly eight decades of publishing-along with behind-the-scenes
accounts of creative decisions, historical insights, and
examinations of their different incarnations-this book provides a
vibrant exploration of Betty and Veronica's many adventures along
their long, intriguing journey in popular culture.
