Betty's Diary #9

In "Root of the Problem," Betty's new crush sends Archie into a tizzy—though it's hard to tell if he's jealous or just worried about losing his homework lifeline. With just six pages of playful tension, the story quietly explores the fine line between friendship and rivalry, all under the familiar skies of Riverdale.

In "The Mystery Video," Archie’s accidental mix-up with Betty’s tape sends a ripple of awkward tension through the usual teen drama, when a misplaced recording ends up in Veronica’s hands—leaving her with a surprise she never saw coming. Written by a longtime Archie Comics voice and illustrated with the era’s signature charm, the story unfolds in just five pages of classic teen misadventure.
