A great page from the classic story "Betty and Veronica's Picnic," script by George Gladir, pencils by Dan DeCarlo, inks by Rudy Lapick. Betty agrees to give Veronica directions to the location of the picnic with Archie.
This large-size gem is a beautiful example of Dan DeCarlo’s artistry on this series with lush inking over graphite on Bristol board. The image area measures 12" x 17.5” inches the artwork and is in excellent condition.

Dan DeCarlo (December 12, 1919 – December 18, 2001)
Beginning his career at Archie in the mid 1950s, DeCarlo is best known as the artist who developed the look of Archie Comics in the late 1950s and early 1960s, modernizing the characters to their contemporary appearance and establishing the publisher's house style up until his death. DeCarlo drew every character in the Archie pantheon at one time or another, but it is his outstanding work on Betty and Veronica that he is held in such high regard for.

Art collectors seek out original artwork from DeCarlo’s best period artistically, which is the mid 1950’s to the early 1970s. Artwork from this period is highly sought after and steadily rising in value.
