“Play Boy”

In "Play Boy," Jughead finds himself questioning his latest performance as a stage magician, unsure if his act is truly magic—or just misdirection. With a mix of classic charm and a hint of mystery, the story unfolds as Jughead tries to solve a puzzling set of clues hidden in a numbered letter puzzle, all while keeping his audience—and himself—guessing. Written and drawn by Joe Edwards, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Joe Edwards, the cover by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino captures the playful tension of the moment.
