“The Bad Old Days”

In "The Bad Old Days," Jughead’s legendary "M" on his shirt takes a surprising twist when Reggie, ever the prankster, convinces Moose that it stands for "Midge"—a fictional teammate from a made-up jai alai squad. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Samm Schwartz’s expressive art and inks, this 1975 classic captures the mischievous spirit of Riverdale with a perfectly timed gag. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the playful chaos of the moment.
