Archie’s Girls Betty and Veronica #14 (August 1954, Archie Comics) — F– 5.5
“Archie Fan Service” — Mid-’50s Riverdale Romance & Rivalry
Classic early Betty & Veronica issue from the peak Good Girl Art era, packed with short humor stories, fashion gags, jealous schemes, and the eternal redhead love triangle. Bright cover featuring the fan-waving Archie gag later reused for issue #68. A great example of pre-Code Archie before the Comics Code reshaped the line.

📝 Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes
F– (5.5) — Solid mid-grade copy with vivid cover colors and nice gloss. Spine stress and a few small peripheral chips. Light edge wear, subtle creasing, interior pages off-white/cream. Fully attached, no major restoration. Displays well for the grade — sharp early Archie with strong shelf appeal.
