Archie's Pal Jughead #71

In "The Third Man," Jughead is roped into a date with Veronica's cousin by Archie and Reggie, only to arrive at the house and discover the cousin has already left—leaving Jughead stuck in the middle of a misunderstanding with no easy exit. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Samm Schwartz, this 1961 classic captures the timeless charm and awkward humor of teenage life, with Schwartz handling pencils, inks, and lettering for a fully cohesive look. The cover by Schwartz perfectly captures the moment’s tension and humor, making it a standout from the series’ early years.
