Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #148

In "Gift Rift," Jughead and Trula take a peaceful evening stroll admiring the neighborhood’s Christmas lights, their shared moment briefly unspooling when Reggie pulls the plug at the Jones house. With the lights out and Jughead scrambling to fix the problem, Trula’s usual scrutiny of Jughead returns, adding a quiet tension to the holiday cheer. Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue’s cover by Rex Lindsey captures the whimsy and mild chaos of the moment.
