Jughead with Archie Digest #29

In "The Breaking Point," Jughead takes a sudden, shocking fall when he pushes Archie out of the way of a falling object, leaving him in a mysterious coma. With the whole gang gathered at the hospital, hope flickers as they wait for any sign—until Archie, alone in the quiet room, quietly prays by Jughead’s bedside. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated with heartfelt detail by Samm Schwartz, this poignant 1978 issue captures a rare moment of quiet gravity in the Archie universe, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Schwartz. The cover by Samm Schwartz perfectly frames the emotional weight of the story.
