In "The Sweet Potato Caper or The Tuber Had Appeal," Betty takes a personal interest when a gang of thieves targets Lodge Industries with a bizarre ransom demand—sweet potatoes. With the city’s foundations at risk and the culprit’s motives as odd as the ransom, Betty teams up with her usual crew to crack the case. Written by Bob Bolling and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Ken Selig, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1996 adventure features a cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli.
