Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #16

In "Balloon Brouhaha," Reggie pulls a classic prank by selling Jughead a worthless horseshoe with a wild tale attached, only to regret it when he hears rumors of a reward tied to it. The scheme backfires when Jughead, seeing a profit, refuses to part with the trinket—leaving Reggie scrambling to reclaim it, all while the real value of the horseshoe remains as dubious as ever. Bill Vigoda’s art, inked by Rudy Lapick and colored by Barry Grossman, brings the usual Riverdale chaos to life, with Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli’s cover capturing the moment’s absurd energy.
