“Beasties of the Night”

In "Beasties of the Night," Jughead faces his wildest challenge yet when Moose’s sudden rage sends shockwaves through Riverdale High, leaving students on edge and the whole school on high alert. With chaos mounting, Jughead turns to the unlikely solution of calling in Dilton Doiley—his only hope to unravel the mystery behind Moose’s monstrous behavior. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life by Samm Schwartz’s expressive art and Barry Grossman’s vivid colors, this 1978 classic features a cover by Dan DeCarlo Jr. that captures the full absurdity of the moment.
