Information About

Betty Cooper




The quintessential girl-next-door, Betty's Middle Class upbringing is a world apart from the flashy lifestyle of her wealthy friend Veronica Lodge . Nowhere is this more evident than when she and Veronica are competing for Archie Andrews 's heart, and yet they remain best friends. In the late 1960s , the two girls joined Archie's band, a Garage Band appropriately named The Archies . Both sang (usually backup), and Betty played Tambourine , while the presumably more musically talented Veronica played Organ . Frequently, Betty has dated Reggie Mantle early on in the titles' runs, more often than not as a casual date when Veronica beat her to the punch to have Archie take her out.

In the early years, Betty had mastery of the traditional feminine domestic skills that Veronica was hopeless at. With the rise of the influence of Feminism , Betty has also been depicted with a wide variety of talents such as auto mechanics. In addition, she is typically depicted as calm and cool in the face of crisis and often has ready solutions for whatever problem comes up in her featured stories. Betty also is fond of children, since she is often featured in stories where she is babysitting or spending time with the kids in her neighborhood.

Betty appears in all of the current Riverdale-related titles that are published by Archie Comics. Specifically, Betty stars in "Betty" and costars in " Betty And Veronica " and "Betty and Veronica Spectacular".
