Jughead with Archie Digest #59
In "The Children's Hour," Jughead's impromptu addition to Dilton's school rocket fuel sends the craft soaring into orbit—way beyond the classroom science fair. With the formula now a global secret, Dilton and Jughead must uncover what went wrong (and right) before international spies snatch their discovery. Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Bob White, with a cover by Dan DeCarlo, this 1983 classic blends small-town mischief with out-of-this-world stakes.
