Archie's Pal Jughead #86
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Merrily We Bowl Along," Jughead finds himself caught in a classic prank war when Reggie manipulates him into setting up Archie so he can steal Veronica’s attention—only for Jughead to reluctantly warn Archie, setting off a chain of double-crosses that turns a simple bowling trip into a tangled game of deception. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with energetic art by Samm Schwartz, this 1962 gem captures the chaotic charm of Riverdale’s most famously hungry teen, with inks by Martin Epp and lettering by the same, all wrapped in a cover by Schwartz that perfectly captures the issue’s lighthearted mischief.
In "Debt Ridden," Jughead finds himself caught between loyalty and a hefty favor when Reggie pressures him into setting up Archie so Reggie can go on a date with Veronica. When Jughead warns Archie, the situation spins into a tangled game of misdirection, with Archie turning the tables and demanding Jughead pull off a double-cross—leaving Jughead to juggle promises, pancakes, and a whole lot of debt.
