Jughead #36

Jughead Jones is front and center on this delightfully clever cover by Rex Lindsey — rendered as a jigsaw puzzle mid-assembly, his signature crown hat tilted just so as he gleefully bites into an enormous burger. The puzzle-piece motif gives the whole image a playfully surreal quality that perfectly suits "Earth's Funniest Comic," and a small inset in the corner hints at more Riverdale fun waiting inside. With Terry Collins scripting and Lindsey handling both pencils and inks, this August 1992 issue of Archie's beloved slacker promises the kind of lighthearted humor that makes Jughead such an enduring treat.
