Jughead #326
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Leader Man," Jughead faces his most bizarre leadership challenge yet when Reggie forces him to co-lead the school ball with the notoriously fearsome Jiggles Jasper. With Dilton’s help, a subliminal tape promises to boost Jughead’s confidence—but instead, it transforms him into a surprisingly smooth-talking charmer. Written by Claire Doyle and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Samm Schwartz, this 1982 classic features a delightfully absurd twist on high school drama, all capped off with a vibrant cover by Dan DeCarlo.
In "Leader Man," Jughead is reluctantly paired with the notoriously fearsome Jiggles Jasper as co-leader of the school ball, leaving him anxious and out of his depth. Dilton steps in with a subliminal tape promising confidence, but instead transforms Jughead into a surprisingly smooth, ladies’ man—much to his bewilderment.
In "Litter Perfect," Jughead’s latest obsession with recycling sends paper flying all over town, turning his wagon into a rolling mess that disrupts everyone—especially when his collection starts interfering with classwork. When the whole gang finally snaps, Jughead accidentally grabs the wrong papers, setting off a chain of chaos he never saw coming.
In "Eastern Star," Jughead tries his hand at matchmaking with a twist, setting up a play date between Veronica’s cousin Leroy and Scarlett Huhara—Jo’s adopted cousin, a Japanese-American girl with a thick Southern drawl and surprisingly fierce martial arts skills. The story unfolds with all the charm and goofy energy of a classic Archie Comics teen tale, where friendship, awkwardness, and unexpected talents collide.
