Jughead's Double Digest #186
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Christmas Turkeys," Jughead faces a holiday dilemma when Ethel holds him to a promise he made five years ago, forcing him to confront a tradition he'd rather avoid. With help from Dilton, who introduces him to the art of deep visualization, Jughead tries to mentally escape the ordeal—though his imagination might not be enough to save him from the festive chaos ahead. Written by Craig Boldman and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, the issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
Jughead’s holiday prank takes a deliciously mischievous turn when he decides to out-Santa Santa by targeting Reggie Mantle with a very specific Christmas gift—much to the horror of Archie, Betty, and Veronica, who’ve had enough of Reggie’s antics. With a mix of stubborn pride and classic Riverdale chaos, the gang finds themselves caught in a turkey-fueled holiday showdown neither expected.
In "Tis the Season," Jughead, skeptical about the holiday spirit in Riverdale, finds himself questioning whether Christmas magic is real—until Betty gently reminds him that it’s not gone, just hiding in plain sight. With her help, he sets out to rediscover the joy, one small moment at a time.
In "In the Spirit," Riverdale High's holiday spirit is in full swing as Jughead’s friends head out for a sleigh ride, leaving him behind—until a surprise moment with Ethel turns the snowy afternoon into something unexpectedly warm.
When Ethel finally calls in a favor Jughead made five years ago, he’s forced to face his worst nightmare: a day of actual responsibility. With help from Dilton, Jughead tries to survive by escaping into a fantasy world of his own making—where every problem is solved with a sandwich and no one ever asks him to clean up.
When Jingles shows up at Veronica’s Christmas tree decorating, things take a festive turn—until Jughead and Jingles accidentally shatter a priceless vase owned by Mr. Lodge. With a wave of his wand, Jingles fixes it, leaving the gang stunned and wondering if magic might just be the real gift this season.
In "Good Losers," Coach Kleats’ team takes a hard loss on the baseball field, but instead of sulking or blaming others, they handle the defeat with grace and sportsmanship. Mr. Weatherbee notices their attitude and praises Coach Kleats for raising a group of true good losers.
