Jughead with Archie Digest #102

In "The Horse-Laugh," Reggie spins a tall tale about an old horseshoe's lucky powers, convincing Jughead to part with it—only to later regret the sale when he hears rumors of a reward tied to the object. When Jughead refuses to return it, Reggie tries to buy it back, but ends up paying more than he ever expected, all while the horseshoe remains just a piece of scrap.

In "Changing Places," Jo takes a sharp turn when Midge calls out Moose for relying on his fists instead of his head. Determined to change, Moose enrolls in a crash course in gentlemanly conduct—courtesy of Veronica and the ever-stoic Smithers.

When a nervous game builder at Mr. Lodge's company creates a prototype arcade machine that turns players into pixelated avatars, Jo finds herself trapped in a high-speed digital world—where every kick of the console could be her last. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, "The Red Flash" blends classic Archie humor with a surprisingly slick sci-fi twist.

In "Who’s Zoo?", Jughead faces off against Reggie in a boxing match that quickly goes south—until his eccentric Uncle Herman steps in with a wild offer: his Jekyll and Hyde formula. Jughead declines, but not before secretly swapping the formula for a prank, leading to a gorilla rampage that leaves Uncle Herman claiming the beast is Jughead. The chaos ends with the gorilla back at the zoo and Uncle Herman in the sanitarium, leaving the real culprit—well, the real pranks—still uncaught.
