☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Drummer Boy," Jughead’s relentless drumming pushes Riverdale High’s faculty to their limits, culminating in a chaotic, last-resort solution: an impromptu "Archies" concert to channel his rhythm. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with energetic art by Samm Schwartz—pencils, inks, and letters all by the same hand, with colors by Carlos Antunes—this 1970 issue captures the classic charm of Riverdale’s misfits. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the musical mayhem.
In "The Drummer Boy," Jughead’s relentless drumming finally pushes Riverdale High’s faculty to their limit—so Mr. Weatherbee stages a last-minute "Archies" concert just to keep the peace. With his rhythm in full swing, Jughead takes center stage in a chaotic, high-energy showdown of beats and bad decisions.
In "Sleepy Time Boy," Jughead finds himself caught in a series of bizarre dreams where he’s romantically involved with Big Ethel and inseparable from Reggie—much to Archie and Betty’s amusement. Their teasing hints that these odd fantasies might be revealing something unexpected about Jughead’s inner thoughts, but whether it’s just a dream or a deeper truth remains unclear.
In "Helping Hound," Hot Dog’s well-intentioned plan to help Betty win Archie’s affection backfires when he pulls Jughead away—only to discover Archie has already left for Veronica. Determined to fix things, Hot Dog sets out to separate Archie and Veronica, diving headfirst into a chaotic tangle of teenage romance and mistaken motives.
In "Brave Bull," Moose declares Jughead the bravest person in Riverdale—because he’s the only one who isn’t afraid of him. Reggie, determined to prove otherwise, sets out to test Jughead’s courage, leading to a series of escalating antics that put the whole town on edge.
