Jughead with Archie Digest #108

A science experiment has gone spectacularly wrong on the cover of this 1992 digest, with Jughead and Archie at a lab table surrounded by smoking, exploding chaos — their clothes in tatters — while a horrified teacher looks on and a speech bubble asks, "Archie, would you feel bad if I asked for a new lab partner?" Cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Alison Flood bring the Riverdale gang's comedic misfortune to life with that warm, rubbery energy the series does so well. At 128 pages, this digest packs in plenty of Jughead-and-Archie fun, including the story "The Secret Project" from a creative team that includes writer Hal Smith and artist Gene Colan.
