Archie's Pal Jughead #114
In "The Big Break," Jughead's world spins when Ethel's fortune cookie predicts she'll marry a tall blonde man—her sights set firmly on him, despite the fact that Jughead is neither. With a mop cleverly disguised as a wig, he tries to play along, but even his best efforts can't convince Ethel she's right. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art and Vince DeCarlo’s inks, this 1964 classic sees Reggie and Archie step in to gently remind Ethel that fortune cookies aren’t exactly gospel—though the real twist might just be how far Jughead will go to avoid a little truth. The cover, by Samm Schwartz, captures the moment with playful flair.
