Jughead with Archie Digest #173

Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith deliver a wonderfully chaotic cover for this 2002 digest, showing Jughead and Archie stumbling out of a restaurant in a panic — each clutching a doggy bag — while a whole pack of excited dogs comes bounding straight at them. Archie's exclamation that they "have to stop taking home doggy bags" says it all, capturing that perfect blend of good intentions gone hilariously wrong that's been an Archie Comics staple for decades. Packed with reprints and published during Archie's 60th Anniversary, this digest is a fun, affordable slice of Riverdale's enduring charm.
