In "Grand Slammed Entrance," Jughead's keen eye for body language leads him to play matchmaker—and mischief—when he alerts Archie that Veronica might be onto his wandering thoughts. With a mix of playful sabotage and clever observation, Archie tries to turn the tables, all while the usual Riverdale dynamics simmer beneath the surface. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—penciled by DeCarlo and inked by Henry Scarpelli on the cover—this 1994 issue captures the classic charm of Archie’s teen rom-coms, with a 1.50 USD cover price that’s a true slice of ’90s nostalgia.
