Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #48

Jughead looks hilariously caught off guard on the cover of this August 1993 issue, surrounded by gifts, stuffed animals, and a grinning Archie and friends as two storks frame a banner reading "SURPRISE." Stan Goldberg's pencils and Mike Esposito's inks bring that classic Riverdale energy with warm colors and expressive faces that make the festive chaos feel genuinely fun. With the story titled "Surprise Flies," this one promises the kind of lighthearted Jughead mischief that made Archie Comics a staple of the era.
