Archie's Ten Issue Collector's Set #8
In "Wheel Wail," Betty grapples with feeling like she’s wasted her summer, but Veronica steps in to remind her of all the small moments that added up—though Betty isn’t convinced any of it counts. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils and inks by DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and lettering by Bill Yoshida—this 1997 issue captures the quiet, heartfelt rhythm of teenage summers. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly frames the mood of reflection and friendship.
