Archie Comics #93
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Southern Exposure!", the whole school is buzzing over a prize for the most helpful student, and every boy is scrambling to impress the teachers—except Jughead, who’s content to sit back and watch the chaos unfold. With his friends’ well-intentioned efforts spiraling into hilarious disasters, Jughead’s quiet skepticism might just be the wisest move of all. Written by Tom Moore and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Samm Schwartz, this 1958 classic features a cover by Harry Lucey.
Archie returns from a trip to the South with a new Southern flair—complete with a drawl, a dapper wardrobe, and a charm that’s got the girls in Riverdale utterly smitten. His new mannerisms and accent turn heads, but how long can a Southern act last in the heart of Riverdale?
In "Award To the Wise," Jughead finds himself an unlikely observer as his friends scramble to win a prize for helping teachers—only to make messes at every turn. While everyone else rushes in with well-intentioned chaos, Jughead stays cool, letting the mayhem unfold around him.
In "Poise Will Be Poise," Veronica’s admiration for men with poise sets off a playful chain of mishaps when Reggie and Betty attempt to sabotage her relationship with Archie by engineering a series of clumsy accidents. The story unfolds with classic Archie Comics charm, as the usual teenage antics take a turn for the absurd—just as Archie’s reputation for grace is put to the test.
