Archie's Double Digest Magazine #40
In "Going for the Gold," Jughead faces a wave of suspicion when he's wrongly accused of vandalizing Riverdale High, leaving even his closest friends and family questioning his innocence. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with expressive art by Samm Schwartz, the story captures the quiet sting of being misunderstood—even after the truth comes out. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo, perfectly captures the moment's tension.
