“Fish Fried”

In "Fish Fried," Jughead faces a summer-day dilemma that’s equal parts delicious and absurd: the very real danger of melted ice cream outside Pop Tate’s shop pushes him to abandon his usual couch-bound routine. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with energetic art by Samm Schwartz—pencils, inks, and lettering all by the same hand—this 1971 classic captures the timeless charm of Archie’s most famously hungry teen. The cover, by Harry Lucey, perfectly captures the comic’s playful spirit.
