☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Secret," Betty’s new passion for skateboarding catches the eye of the boys, sparking a quiet rivalry with Veronica, who begins gently — but firmly — pushing Betty to reconsider the sport as something less suited to a girl. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, the story captures the charm and tension of teenage friendship, with cover art by DeCarlo himself.
In "Wheel Zeal," Betty’s newfound skill on the skateboard catches the eye of the boys at Riverdale High, sparking a quiet rivalry with Veronica, who insists that such a pastime isn’t quite ladylike. As their friendship is tested by differing views on style and self-expression, the two navigate the tension with the kind of playful rivalry only they can manage.
In the sweltering heat of a summer night, Veronica grumbles about leaving her air-conditioned house for a date with Archie, making the evening feel more like a chore than a romance. But when Archie comes up with a clever way to cool her down, the moment turns unexpectedly sweet—just in time for a goodnight kiss.
