Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #9

In "Problems," Betty and Veronica go head-to-head in a spirited rivalry for captain of the cheerleading squad, turning a simple tryout into a showdown of confidence and charm. With Mr. Lodge’s surprising nostalgia for boys on the squad and a few awkwardly performed cheers, the girls’ friendship is tested—especially when Betty claims victory, leaving Archie and Jughead wondering what happened to Veronica, who skipped out due to a little rain and a stubborn fear of ruining her outfit. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue captures the classic Archie charm, all framed by Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art.
