Jughead #255

In "The Great Escape," Jughead finds himself caught in a whirlwind of colonial charm and last-minute chaos at the Bicentennial Ball, where the girls take the lead—literally. When Reggie’s date flakes, he’s forced to trade on his usual charm (and cash) to snag Jughead’s costume and invite, setting off a chain of misadventures in a story written by George Gladir and brought to life with period-perfect flair by Samm Schwartz on art and inks. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli captures the festive spirit, a 30-cent slice of 1976 Archie fun.
