☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Something Ventured, Something Gained," Juggie dreams of fame and stardom, only to wake up back in Riverdale—where his big break might be just beginning. Written and illustrated by Joe Edwards, this heartfelt story explores ambition, identity, and the quiet joy of belonging, all rendered in the classic style of Dan DeCarlo on the cover.
In "Something Ventured, Something Gained," Jughead’s latest food adventure takes a magical turn when he visits Darlene’s mysterious new eatery, only to trade his metabolism for a feast of his dreams. As he grows larger and larger, the gang scrambles to recover their lost virtues—Archie’s purity, Veronica’s status, Betty’s kindness—only to fall victim to Darlene’s clever schemes. With help from Sabrina, Jughead sets out to outwit the witch and reclaim what was lost.
In "Chapter #1 'Nobody!'", Jughead finds himself unexpectedly excluded when Veronica throws a party without him—her cold dismissal, echoed by Betty, stings as they label him a "Nobody." Heartbroken, he tries to find solace at Pop Tate’s Chok’Lit Shop, only to be ignored by Archie and Reggie, who quietly confirm his feelings of insignificance.
Jughead Jones returns to the Chok'Lit Shop, hoping for a burger and a moment of comfort, only to be turned away without a dime to his name. Turning to the jukebox, he belts out his favorite tune, "Blue For You," unaware that his raw, heartfelt performance catches the ear of legendary talent scout Mayka Starr. Impressed by his genuine voice and spirit, she offers him a chance to shine—leaving Jughead to wonder if this could be the start of something big.
In "Chapter #3 Going Up!" from Archie Spotlight Digest: Archie 75th Anniversary Digest #6, Jo takes the stage at Redfree's Talent Show, his raw, emotional voice moving the crowd to tears—only to shock them with a surprising declaration about women, turning their reaction into something unforgettable.
Jo, now a celebrity, finds fame comes at a cost—his every move is controlled, even his meals. When he finally sneaks away for a simple hamburger, his craving leads to chaos as fans swarm him, proving that stardom isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Juggie wakes up in the Chok'Lit Shop, still reeling from a dream where his brief fame collapsed into obscurity—only to find himself invited to Veronica’s party. There, his voice catches the ear of her uncle, a talent scout who sees something special in him. But after a moment’s pause, Juggie declines the chance to shine, content with being just a nobody.
In "My Ideal," Betty shares her dream husband with the Lodges, describing a man who’s nothing like Archie—only to be met with laughter when she realizes her description actually matches him perfectly, despite her insistence it doesn’t.
When Archie, Reggie, Jughead, and Moose try to steal the spotlight from The Beatles at the school dance by dressing up as them, they accidentally spark a full-blown Beatlemania of their own—only now, the whole town can’t get enough of the four friends in wigs and suits. Suddenly, their prank turns into a whirlwind of fame, with fans, fans, and more fans chasing them at every turn.
In "Back from the Future!", Jughead Jones is pulled into a high-stakes time-travel mystery when he’s contacted by January McAndrews, a Time Police officer and descendant of Archie Andrews, who warns him that dangerous time thieves are targeting Senator Bailey—someone Jug once saved, and a man whose future presidency hinges on that very act. With the timeline itself at risk, Jughead must navigate the chaos of past and present before history unravels.
When Little Archie and Juggie set out on a raft to catch the fabled Perilous Pike of Logger's Pond, their fishing trip quickly turns into a wild ride as the current sweeps them toward the dangerous Fossil Falls.
Archie’s trying to pull off a simple delivery—get a birthday cake to Veronica’s dad on time—but every step of the way, things go hilariously wrong. With each failed attempt, he’s forced to backtrack, buy another cake, and hope the next one makes it through the chaos intact.
