Archie's Pal Jughead #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Pen Swipers," Jughead finds himself at the center of a schoolwide mystery when Mr. Weatherbee alerts the police to a rumored serial pen thief—only to hesitate when the suspect list points right at him. Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Bill Vigoda, this 1952 classic captures the small-town chaos of Riverdale with a perfectly timed prank-turned-panic, all wrapped in Vigoda’s expressive cover art.
In "Pen Swipers," the sudden rumor of a serial pen thief at Riverdale High sends Mr. Weatherbee into a panic—until he starts wondering if the real culprit might be someone closer to home. When Jughead’s name surfaces, the principal’s suspicions grow, but doubts soon creep in as the case takes a more personal turn.
In "The Well Dressed Man!", Jughead finds himself baffled by Betty’s insistence that a cocktail dress is essential for a tea party—especially when he’s convinced a T-shirt is just as appropriate. The clash of fashion sense and social expectations leads to a lighthearted, head-scratching moment that’s pure Jughead.
