In "Head and Shoulders," Jughead Jones faces his greatest challenge yet: the peril of melting ice cream. Though he claims to have too much sense to leave Pop Tate’s on a sweltering day, the promise of frozen treats outside proves too tempting to resist. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant art by Samm Schwartz—pencils, inks, and letters all by the same hand—this 1985 issue captures the classic charm of Archie’s world, with a cover by Dan DeCarlo that perfectly sums up the heat and humor.
