Jughead & Friends Digest Magazine #21

In "Jughead Jones, the People's Friend," Jughead finds himself at the center of a nostalgic whirlwind when Mr. Smythe stumbles into an Old Tyme Fair where prices are frozen at turn-of-the-century rates—just as inflation has left the present-day town reeling. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art, Jon D'Agostino’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this digest tale blends classic Archie charm with a playful twist on economics. The cover by Fernando Ruiz and Jon D'Agostino captures the retro spirit perfectly.
