“Originality Breeds Contempt”

In "Originality Breeds Contempt," Reggie’s clever twist on the school dance—where girls dress as the guys they admire—backfires in the most unexpected way when everyone picks Reggie and Archie as their style icons, leaving Jughead suddenly in the spotlight. George Frese’s expressive art brings the classic Archie gang’s antics to life, capturing the humor and charm of a 1952 high school romp, while Bill Vigoda’s cover perfectly encapsulates the playful chaos of the moment.
