Jughead #271

Jughead #271 (December 1977) captures a perfectly cheerful moment in Betty's kitchen, where Jughead grins triumphantly while hoisting a burger amid a table piled high with food, as Betty raves to Archie about how microwave ovens cook super-fast — and Archie jokes that they're "almost fast enough to match Jughead's appetite." Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo's cover art delivers all the warmth and humor Riverdale fans love, with that vivid late-'70s color palette making the whole scene pop. If you're a fan of Jughead's legendary relationship with food, this one's a delightful snapshot of the gang at their most fun.
