“The Secret”

In "The Secret," Betty’s new passion for skateboarding catches the eye of the boys, sparking a quiet rivalry with Veronica, who begins gently — but firmly — pushing Betty to reconsider the sport as something less suited to a girl. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, the story captures the charm and tension of teenage friendship, with cover art by DeCarlo himself.
