Jughead #127

The cover of this December 1965 Archie Series issue says it all — Jughead, wrapped head to toe in bandages with his arm in a sling and a crutch at the ready, watches as Archie cheerfully runs a film projector and promises the audience it's "a real smash!" Betty and Veronica sit in the makeshift audience, while the projected movie screen shows a skier in mid-action. Bob White's cover pencils land the punchline perfectly, letting readers connect the dots between Archie's enthusiasm and Jughead's very evident injuries.
