Jughead as Captain Hero
Archie · 1966–1967 · 7 issues
About the series
In the mid-1960s, Archie Comics launched this 7-issue series where Jughead Jones dons a cape and cowl as the bumbling but good-hearted Captain Hero, a parody of the era's superhero craze. Written primarily by Frank Doyle with art by Bill Vigoda, the series pairs Jughead's signature laziness with absurd super-powered antics, often dragging Archie, Betty, Veronica, and even Li'l Jinx into his chaotic adventures. It stands as a playful, forgotten gem of Archie's Silver Age experimentation, blending slapstick humor with the publisher's wholesome small-town charm.
