Betty and Veronica #143
In "A Turn For The Better," Veronica and Betty tackle a classroom assignment that sends them spinning through time—Veronica reflecting on the shift from the 1800s to the 1900s, while Betty imagines what life might be like in the leap from the 21st to the 22nd century. Written by Kathleen Webb and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—penciled and inked by DeCarlo and Scarpelli, with color by Barry Grossman and letters by Bill Yoshida—this 2000 issue captures the girls’ playful curiosity with warmth and charm. The cover, also by DeCarlo and Scarpelli, perfectly frames their thoughtful journey.
