Betty #23

In "Hot Water," Betty’s shopping spree takes a surprising turn when her request for money from her father leads her to notice a girl in a situation even more difficult than her own. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Mark Brewer, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1995 issue captures a quiet moment of empathy in the midst of teenage drama. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Alison Flood perfectly frames the story’s mix of humor and heart.
