Jughead with Archie Digest #73

This winter-themed digest captures a perfectly relatable seasonal divide right on its cover: a girl in a purple coat twirls delightedly in the falling snow declaring it "so light and fluffy," while Jughead in his red jacket strains every muscle just to lift a shovelful of the stuff, shooting back "Have you ever tried lifting it?" Archie stands between them in his blue jacket, looking on with bemused detachment — a scene of cheerful slapstick that Dan DeCarlo renders with his trademark warmth and comic timing. At 128 pages for $1.25, this 1986 digest is a generous collection of Riverdale fun with Al Hartley contributing to the interior stories.
