The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #23

This digest-sized collection puts Jughead Jones front and center, with Dan DeCarlo's lively cover art packed with the kind of comic-strip chaos that made these digests so much fun. The cover bursts with mini-vignettes — Jughead eagerly loading up a pizza while a blonde girl asks what he likes to put on it (his answer: "MY TEETH!!"), a slapstick garden scene featuring a whap-happy neighbor and a dog, a runner trading quips with a hotdog, and a redhead balancing an improbable tower of food. Archie's Digest Library delivers a genuinely entertaining package here, and as Jughead himself boasts on the cover, "If this isn't the greatest book you've read all year, I'll eat it!" — and knowing Jughead, he just might anyway.
