Archie Giant Series Magazine #166

This 1969 Archie Giant Series entry puts Jughead front and center in a sunny beach scene — arms raised in gleeful surprise as a girl in a bold black-and-yellow swimsuit comes flying through the air straight toward him, with the cover teasing she's "the only chick who's ever made a splash with Jughead!" Colorful inflatable toys, sunbathers, and a psychedelic beach umbrella fill out the sandy backdrop, giving the whole scene a wonderfully breezy summer energy. Cover art by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, and with stories by Frank Doyle and art by Samm Schwartz inside, this oversized Giant Series issue is a cheerful slice of late-'60s Riverdale fun.
