Jughead #8
In "Comics," Jughead’s longtime obsession with comic books takes a surprising turn when Veronica mocks his daydreams of being the Riverdale Avenger—only to quickly shift gears when she spots the potential profit in collecting them. Written by Rod Ollerenshaw and illustrated by Doug Crane, with inks by Mike Esposito, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1988 issue captures a playful, self-aware moment in Riverdale’s history. The cover, penciled by Doug Crane and inked by Jon D'Agostino, perfectly frames Jughead’s comic-obsessed world with a wink.
