Jughead with Archie Digest #78
“What's in a Name”
In "What's in a Name," Jughead faces off against Archie in a test of endurance—hanging from a tree limb to see who can last longer. When Big Ethel shows up, Jughead’s stubborn streak kicks in, turning the silly challenge into something far more stubborn than either of them expected. Art by Samm Schwartz and a classic cover by Dan DeCarlo bring the timeless charm of this 1987 digest issue to life.
