Veronica and Betty, two of Archie Comics' most iconic characters, often come head-to-head as they vie for the affections of Archie. Betty is the quintessential 17-year-old girl next door, whose normal upbringing is a world apart from the flashy lifestyle of her wealthy 'frenemy'. Veronica enjoys a very posh lifestyle, as her family is among the richest people in the world. In Betty and Veronica: Storybook, Archie's two leading ladies portray famous female characters such as Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland.
