“Downhill Drag or There's No Hope on the Slope”

In "Downhill Drag or There's No Hope on the Slope," Betty faces a new kind of challenge when Dilton builds her a motorized wheelchair to help her get around Riverdale High—only to find herself zooming out of control through a cheerleader practice. Written by Bob Bolling and brought to life by Doug Crane’s art, with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1993 issue captures the charm and chaos of small-town high school life. The cover, by Stan Goldberg, perfectly captures the moment’s kinetic energy.
