Jughead #198

In "The Cream of the Crop," Jughead and the gang take a break from their usual antics, leaving Reggie behind—only for him to misinterpret their absence as a reaction to his unmatched charm. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Samm Schwartz, this 1971 classic captures Reggie’s signature blend of vanity and self-delusion in a moment of hilarious isolation. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly frames the scene’s comedic tension.
