“Real or Unreal”

In "Real or Unreal," Jughead Jones takes to the ice at the Riverdale Ice-skating Contest—where everyone else seems born to glide, but he’s clearly not. With Samm Schwartz’s expressive art capturing every wobble and grin, and George Gladir crafting a story that leans into Jughead’s signature charm, it’s a classic moment of underdog hilarity. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli perfectly captures the scene’s playful energy.
