In "A Very Uplifting Experience," Jughead Jones finds himself captivated by the glamorous lifestyle of a famous actor, sparking a sudden and unexpected desire to follow in his footsteps.

Samm Schwartz handles art, inks, and lettering, while Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli bring the cover to life.
