Jughead with Archie Digest #4

This 160-page full-color digest packs remarkable value into sixty cents, gathering Jughead, Archie, Big Moose, Dilton Doiley, Li'l Jinx, and more into one chunky Fawcett-published collection. The cover sets a cheerful tone right away: Jughead stands in Pop's Chocklit Shoppe wielding a mop over a wet floor while Archie asks Pop how long Jughead has been working there — Pop's deadpan reply ("Ever since I threatened to fire him!") says everything about their dynamic. With 160 pages of stories, puzzles, and fun promised on the cover, this 1974 digest is a wonderfully generous sampler of Riverdale's finest.
