Betty and Me #18
In "Heroes Are Made," Betty takes on a surprisingly ambitious task: fixing a broken lawn chair with no carpentry experience, determined to prove her generation can mend what the older one has damaged. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—penciled and inked by DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, with lettering by Bill Yoshida—this 1968 issue captures a quiet moment of youthful idealism. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly frames Betty’s earnest, determined expression as she tackles the chair, a 12-cent comic that’s a small but thoughtful snapshot of its time.
