Jughead's Double Digest #27

In "Fatal Temptation," Archie takes a delivery to Mr. Lodge’s experimental lab, only to have a container of deadly toxic chemicals go missing—right into the hands of a boy who’s already inhaled the fumes. With no medical cure in sight, Archie turns to an old Indian woman, hoping her knowledge might hold the key to saving the boy’s life.

In "Sidewalk Supers," Archie and Jughead tackle a messy Chok'lit Shoppe cleanup with wild enthusiasm, accidentally turning a routine errand into a whirlwind of mishaps—each enthusiastic swipe of the mop or dusting pass landing on the wrong customer, who just happens to be the tax man. When the day’s chaos finally reaches its peak, Pop Tate rewards the boys with well-earned sundaes, leaving their antics and the shop’s state firmly in the hands of the moment.

In "Cautious Chemistry," Archie and Jughead’s plan to stay late in the chemistry lab takes a chaotic turn when Mr. Weatherbee, ever the cautious administrator, has Professor Flutesnoot clear the room of anything remotely explosive—only for the situation to spiral anyway. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures the classic misadventures of Riverdale’s teens when even the most careful precautions can’t stop the inevitable.

In "Mr. Nice Guy," Reggie's triumphant basketball win at Riverdale High turns sour when he can't shake the feeling that Archie and Jughead's praise is just sarcasm in disguise—despite their genuine smiles, he's convinced they're mocking him. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed artist, this six-page humor story captures the awkward, self-doubting side of a teen star who just wants to be seen as sincere.

When Reggie tries to outrun the law using his C.B. radio, he still gets pulled over—proof that even the best signals can’t block a ticket. Later, he and Archie answer a mysterious distress call echoing through the static, stepping into a mystery that’s already spinning out of control.
