Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #52
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Shakespeare, Anyone? Chapter One," Jughead’s usual lunchtime routine takes a bizarre turn when Ethel’s perfume experiment goes hilariously awry—first with Veronica’s fancy scent, then Betty’s, and finally when a chili dog spill leads to unexpected results. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with classic flair by Stan Goldberg (pencils), Mike Esposito (inks), and Bill Yoshida (letters), this 1994 issue captures the charm and humor of Riverdale’s most famously hungry resident, all under a cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli.
In "Shakespeare, Anyone? Chapter One," Jughead and Veronica land the lead roles in the school's production of *Romeo and Juliet*, but when Veronica starts developing feelings after their first kiss scene, Jughead tries to quietly discourage her—only to set off a chain of events that leads to a hilariously chaotic performance. The story captures the awkward charm of teenage theater, miscommunication, and the high stakes of a crush gone sideways.
In "Shakespeare, Anyone? Chapter Two," Jughead and Veronica land the lead roles in the school's production of *Romeo and Juliet*, but their on-stage chemistry sparks something unexpected—Veronica develops a crush on Jughead. When he tries to quietly shut it down, things spiral during a disastrous performance that turns into a moment of reckoning.
In "Simply Non-Scents!", Jughead’s usual indifference to fashion takes a bizarre turn when Ethel, determined to make him notice her, experiments with Veronica’s and Betty’s perfumes—only to find his reaction unchanged. When a spilled chili dog accidentally stains her shirt, the unexpected result finally catches his attention, leaving her both surprised and intrigued.
