Archie Giant Series Magazine #457

In "Storm Center," Jughead’s mom sends him out in a fierce blizzard to fetch groceries, with Hot Dog tagging along—tied to a little barrel of root beer around his neck like a furry, beverage-carrying St. Bernard. The duo braves the storm, their journey as quirky as it is determined, in a story that captures the classic charm of small-town winter adventures.

In "The Lesser of Two," Jughead, ever the reluctant matchmaker, steps in to help Betty navigate her complicated feelings for Archie—especially when Veronica’s presence makes things tense. Though he’s not one for romance, Jughead believes the best way to keep Archie around as a friend is to steer him toward someone who’ll share him without a fight.
