“Hop It”

In "Hop It," Jughead finds himself playing the Prince in the school play The Princess and the Frog, but when the cast’s Princess falls ill, Betty’s playful suggestion that Veronica step in sends the usual schoolyard dynamics into a whirlwind of teasing and unexpected tension. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Samm Schwartz’s expressive art and Barry Grossman’s vibrant colors, this 1978 slice of Archie nostalgia captures the charm and chaos of high school theater with a side of classic rivalry. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo perfectly captures the lighthearted drama of the moment.
