Life with Archie #143
In "Grand Opening," Jughead's desperation over a meat shortage leads him on a wild expedition into the woods, where his quest for a sandwich-sized meal takes a dangerous turn. With friends in tow—unaware they might be the main course—Jughead’s hunt for sustenance quickly becomes a survival test against nature’s hungriest predator: a real, hungry bear. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life by Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art, this 1974 classic features dynamic inks by Jon D'Agostino, bold colors by Barry Grossman, and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida, all under a cover by Goldberg and D'Agostino.
