Jughead #143

Jughead's love of food and schemes collides with slot-car fun on this cheerful 1967 cover, where Archie and a dark-haired girl look on as Jughead — presiding over an elaborate racing layout complete with a working "Toll 5¢" booth — demands realistic money from his friends, while a mountain of burgers waits temptingly in the background. Bill Vigoda's pencils and Jon D'Agostino's inks pack the scene with warm, lively energy that perfectly captures Jughead's signature hustle. Frank Doyle and Bill Vigoda bring their reliable charm to this Archie Series gem, making issue #143 a delightful snapshot of Riverdale life at its most entertainingly absurd.
