☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Experiment Perilous," Archie and Jughead, down to their last few dollars, stumble into a museum and end up on a surprise dig at the city park with the eccentric Professor Flutesnoot. Their unexpected knack for uncovering ancient bones earns them sudden fame—though their luck might be more than just a stroke of fortune. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Henry Scarpelli and colors by Barry Grossman, this 2008 Double Digest tale brings the classic Archie gang into a quirky adventure full of dusty secrets and playful mystery, all wrapped in a cover by Fernando Ruiz and George Frese, inked by George Frese and Bob Smith.
In "Experiment Perilous," Jughead's uncle's secret formula takes center stage when he tries to sell it to government agents, setting off a chain of mishaps. A jab from Reggie prompts Jughead to test the concoction on him—leading to unpredictable chaos that quickly spirals beyond control.
In "Goat of a Chance," Jughead spins a wild scheme to boost Riverdale High’s fame after Mr. Weatherbee laments their lack of publicity—enlisting a reporter and a very confused goat in a plan that’s equal parts genius and chaos. With his usual mix of hunger, wit, and absurdity, Jughead sets out to turn the school into the talk of the town, one hoofprint at a time.
Archie and Jughead, broke but eager for free fun, stumble into a museum where they’re captivated by ancient relics. When they join Professor Flutesnoot’s dig at the city park, their accidental discovery of dinosaur bones unexpectedly earns them local fame.
In "When Jughead Meets Jughead," a nostalgic trip down memory lane sends Jughead back to the 1940s, where he encounters his younger self and discovers a simpler, cheaper, and—dare he say—more delicious way of life. The past offers everything he loves, except one thing he can't imagine living without.
