Jughead #41

Archie's beloved slacker-turned-unlikely-hero Jughead gets the hero treatment on this cheerful 1993 cover, where Stan Goldberg depicts him being hoisted triumphantly on the shoulders of Riverdale's football team while cheerleaders and fans celebrate around him — all while the cover copy cheekily asks what exactly he's doing on a football field. The scene bursts with the warmth and humor that made this series a staple of Archie Comics, and with a video game sweepstakes promotion inside, issue #41 was quite the package for its time.
