Jughead #201

In "Cold Tongue," Jughead finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight when a Hollywood studio seeks his take on the film Cycle Queen, starring the glamorous Nanette. Naturally, his thoughts drift from the big screen to the commissary—where the real action is—making for a delightfully offbeat slice of 1972 teen life. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Samm Schwartz, this classic issue captures Jughead’s signature priorities with charm and humor. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly encapsulates the comic’s playful tone.
