☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Children's Hour," Jughead's impromptu addition to Dilton's school rocket fuel sends the craft soaring into orbit—way beyond the classroom science fair. With the formula now a global secret, Dilton and Jughead must uncover what went wrong (and right) before international spies snatch their discovery. Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Bob White, with a cover by Dan DeCarlo, this 1983 classic blends small-town mischief with out-of-this-world stakes.
In "The Children's Hour," Betty and Veronica reach their breaking point when Reggie and Jughead’s endless, petty jabs escalate to new lows. Determined to prove they’re the real children, the boys attempt a grown-up insult battle—only to watch in smug satisfaction as the girls lose their cool.
In "Station Break!", Veronica calls Betty to announce her arrival in town, asking that Archie be sent to pick her up at the bus station. Archie rushes off in a hurry—only to realize too late that Veronica’s actually coming in by train. Betty lets him go, quietly hoping to stir up some jealousy.
In "Rockets Away!", Jughead’s impromptu addition to Dilton’s rocket fuel sends the school’s launch into orbit—literally. With the formula now a global secret, Dilton and Jughead must uncover what Jughead added before international spies track them down.
In this brief, witty slice of high school life from *Jughead with Archie Digest #59*, Jughead faces off against Miss Grundy’s quirky pop quiz with his usual mix of charm and nonchalance—navigating questions about Magellan, chivalry, and the word "Amazon" with the kind of deadpan humor that makes even the most mundane classroom moment feel like a small rebellion.
In "Tennis Anyone?", Betty and Veronica team up to keep a date with Archie and Jughead—only to find themselves dodging Reggie at every turn, hoping to avoid the chaos his presence always brings. With playful tension and classic teen dynamics, the quartet navigates a day where friendship, rivalry, and a shared game of tennis collide.
