In "Ride Into Danger," Little Jughead hones his magic act with unexpected help from Mr. Weatherbee, who reveals his own past as a would-be magician before becoming a teacher. As the school show unfolds, a prank meant for Little Jughead takes an unexpectedly close call, putting Mr. Weatherbee in the spotlight—literally. Written and illustrated by Dexter Taylor, with cover art by Taylor, this 1969 classic captures the charm and mischief of the Archie gang in a 25-cent comic that’s as delightful as it is full of surprise.
