• First ongoing-series issue: Jughead: The Hunger #1 went on sale October 25, 2017, under Archie's Madhouse imprint, continuing the story from the March 2017 one-shot.
• First appearance of werewolf Jughead as an ongoing character: while the one-shot (sometimes catalogued as #0) introduced the concept, this #1 is the debut chapter of the sustained ongoing series presenting Jughead Jones as a confirmed werewolf fugitive.
• First sustained use of 'Betty Cooper: Werewolf Hunter' as a recurring character role, expanding her Cooper family lineage of monster hunters beyond the one-shot's single-issue origin.
• Creative team: written by Frank Tieri (Wolverine, The Hangman); interior art by Pat and Tim Kennedy (Death of Archie); colors by Matt Herms; letters by Jack Morelli.
• Main cover by Francesco Francavilla; variant covers by Robert Hack and Michael Walsh (who illustrated the one-shot).
• A retailer-exclusive variant for #1 was produced by Stadium Comics, featuring art by Marco D'Alfonso as a homage to Werewolf by Night #32 (1975), the first appearance of Moon Knight — limited to 500 copies.
• The series sits outside main Archie continuity; all Archie Horror titles are set in independent alternate realities rated TEEN+ for violence and mature content.
• The ongoing ran 13 issues before culminating in the five-part crossover miniseries Jughead: The Hunger vs. Vampironica (2019), written by Tieri and illustrated by the Kennedys, which united the Archie Horror imprint's werewolf and vampire titles.
