Archie's Pal Jughead #92
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Merchant Princes," Jughead faces a rare moment of self-doubt when Betty questions his loyalty, prompting him to try something unexpected—standing up for Archie, even against Moose. With Samm Schwartz handling art, inks, and letters, this 1963 classic captures Jughead’s reluctant attempt to be more than just a friend who eats, all drawn in the signature style of the era.
In "Merchant Princes," Jughead’s world crumbles when Pop’s closes due to Pop’s illness, leaving him heartbroken. Archie and Reggie rally the gang—Veronica, Betty, and Moose—to secretly reopen the shop, turning the lunch counter into a bustling hub of activity. Mr. Tate, startled by visions of Jughead devouring the entire stock, rushes in just as the shop hums with life and laughter.
In "Friend in Need," Jughead faces a rare test of loyalty when Betty calls him out for not standing up for Archie. Determined to prove he’s a true friend, Jughead takes an unexpected turn by stepping in to shield Archie from Moose—though his usual appetite for food and naptime still finds a way in.
In "The Touch," Jughead finds himself in a peculiar moment outside a movie theatre, hat off and unexpectedly handed cash for a ticket—only to be confronted by Archie, who insists he hand it back. The story unfolds with classic Archie humor, teasing the tension between friendship, greed, and the ever-present lure of a free movie.
