“Shriek”

In "Shriek," Jughead and Betty encounter a mysterious hermit who warns them of a leaf monster stalking Riverdale. When Archie and Veronica spot the creature outside, a sudden chase begins—only to be interrupted by the sheriff, who claims the town’s been overrun by strange, inexplicable monsters since the school opened. As the gang starts speaking in odd catchphrases like "Jinkies!" and "Zoinks!" and even Hot Dog begins echoing "RUH-ROH!", the mystery deepens. Written by Paul Castiglia and illustrated by Fernando Ruiz, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Rick Taylor, and letters by Vickie Williams, the cover by Ruiz and Koslowski captures the eerie charm of this 2011 adventure.
