“Top Secret”

In "Top Secret," Jughead finds himself unexpectedly in the crosshairs of the entire female half of Miss Grundy's English class, all hunting him down after he submits a controversial essay titled "Dating Disasters and How To Avoid Them." Written by George Gladir and brought to life with energetic art by Samm Schwartz—pencils, inks, and lettering—this 1979 classic captures the chaos of teenage social dynamics with a perfectly timed prank. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo perfectly captures the comic's mischievous spirit.
