Jughead #325

In "Barely Friendly," Jughead's trademark confidence lands him in hot water when Cheryl Blossom, ever the dramatic snob, demands her brother Jason teach him a lesson for an insult. Jason takes up the challenge, only to find Jughead has temporarily handed his signature hat over to Moose—leaving the town's most notorious foodie defenseless and utterly unimpressed by the threat. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.'s crisp art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1982 classic captures the usual chaos of Riverdale with a side of sibling rivalry. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the moment’s tension.
