In "Way Out West (Part 1)," Betty and Veronica pay a visit to Charlie Chuck, their old family friend and a reclusive western writer, at his remote ranch. With oil-rich land and a stubborn refusal to sell, Charlie’s property is drawing unwanted attention—and strange, suspicious incidents keep piling up. Written by George Gladir and brought to life by Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, with inks by Henry Scarpelli and colors by Barry Grossman, this adventure blends small-town charm with a touch of frontier mystery. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, captures the wide-open spirit of the West.
