>>96677045I say it to anyone who is even the slightest bit curious about Archie comics; pick up a Jughead Double Digest.
Archie's quality wavers throughout its years, issues and writers. It always had a reputation of being lame, stuffy and boring, which in a lot of cases is well-deserved. But I always felt that Jughead comics throughout the years have always been clever, funny, and interesting. From the classic screwball comedy of Samm Schwartz to the more nuanced situational humor that appeared in the 90s-00s years. It's like all the best people gravitated towards working on Jughead's comics rather than Betty and Veronica or whatever.
A Double Digest will have the collection of past stories through the decades, is only a couple of dollars, and can be found easily in a ton of grocery stores. I feel like if you want to see how fun Archie comics can be, starting with a Jughead DD is the best way to jump in.
