Archie Giant Series Magazine #542

Archie Giant Series Magazine #542 brings Jughead Jones front and center in this cheerful 1984 installment, with cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo showcasing the laid-back Riverdale teen's oversized grinning face surrounded by small vignettes of him dressed in historical costumes — a medieval knight, a Viking, a Zorro-style swashbuckler, a court jester, and a tumbling fool — all promising a romp "Throughout History with Jughead!" It's a delightfully playful premise that plays perfectly to Jughead's easygoing, comedic personality. Fans of Archie's Giant Series format will find this a satisfying collection-worthy entry from the mid-'80s run.
