Jughead #160

Water polo has never looked quite this chaotic — Jughead #160 from Archie Series drops readers poolside for what the cover promises will be an eventful game. A crowned Reggie holds a water polo ball and smugly warns two poolside onlookers (Betty and Veronica) that the rough warm-up is nothing compared to what's coming, while a tangle of players thrash and splash in the pool below. Up top, a figure gets launched dramatically into the air above the title logo, setting the slapstick tone perfectly for "Operation Shark." A fun, lighthearted 1968 slice of Riverdale hijinks at a cool twelve cents.
