Archie's Pal Jughead #78
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Paging Paul Revere," Jughead Jones trades his usual apathy for a night of heroic hustle when he learns Riverdale High’s victory dinner is on the line—thanks to a sneaky plan to steal the school mascot. With only a horse and a loud voice, he rides through town on a late-night mission, shouting warnings from the rooftops. Samm Schwartz’s expressive art brings the whole chaotic ride to life, capturing Jughead’s wild energy and sore-bum aftermath in a classic 1961 tale of small-town mischief.
In "Paging Paul Revere," Jughead’s excitement over the Riverdale High victory dinner sends him into a late-night frenzy—so much so that he can’t sleep. When he overhears a suspicious call on the party line about stealing the school mascot, he springs into action, riding a horse through town to warn everyone. His frantic ride leaves him sore enough that he has to stand during the dinner, but the real test is whether his efforts stop the prank before it’s too late.
In "Cool Ghoul," Jughead tries to play it cool by mocking a horror movie’s campy scares—until Archie’s mother taps him on the shoulder, sending him leaping through the window in pure panic. The story captures classic teen humor with a perfectly timed jump scare that even the most confident diner might not survive.
In "Wrist Twist," Jughead discovers the surprising power of jiu jitsu from a book, only to find himself in a match against the fearsome Horrible Herman. When Herman proves just as skilled at flipping people, Jughead’s new technique backfires in the most unexpected way—leaving him wary of even a simple handshake.
