Jughead #284
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Bake and Shake," Jughead finds himself unexpectedly matched up on a date by Reggie—only to discover the woman is none other than Miss Grundy. With a little help from his ever-reliable Uncle Steve, the evening takes a surprising turn when Miss Grundy and Steve find a connection of their own. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with crisp, classic flair by Samm Schwartz on art and inks, with Barry Grossman’s colors and lettering, this 1979 gem features a delightfully awkward twist on romance. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo, captures the moment with signature charm.
In "Blind Date," Jughead agrees to a blind date set up by Reggie, unaware he's being matched with the ever-watchful Miss Grundy—only to save the evening by bringing along his dapper, elderly Uncle Steve. What starts as a cringe-worthy setup turns into an unexpected romance when Miss Grundy and Steve find themselves drawn to each other.
In "Word Game," Jughead’s new confidence as a ladies’ man gets tested when he splurges on fancy clothes—only for Reggie to sabotage the look with a greasy, over-the-top pizza feast. The clash of style and slop sets off a classic, lighthearted battle of wits and wardrobe.
In "The Peacemaker," Jughead steps in when Archie plans to confront Vic "The Violent" Murray, using a clever ruse to defuse the situation by getting Moose to play along as someone too scared to stand up to the intimidating bully. The story captures the classic humor and camaraderie of the Archie gang, with Jughead’s quick thinking taking center stage.
