Jughead #230

In "Prophet and Loss," Jughead faces a rare dilemma: he's decided to let Ethel catch him in this year’s "girls catch boys" race—possibly influenced by the sheer weight of five hundred pounds of hamburger she once won. With Samm Schwartz handling art, inks, and lettering, and George Gladir scripting the antics, this 1974 classic captures a moment of unexpected strategy from the ever-hungry teen. Dan DeCarlo’s cover art, inked by Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the race’s stakes.
