The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #16
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Cutting Edge," a movie star arrives in Riverdale to film a scene at the high school, casting Mr. Weatherbee in a role that paints him as a bumbling hick—much to Archie’s dismay. When the production threatens to humiliate the principal, Archie steps in to protect his school’s dignity, leading to a lighthearted clash between Hollywood and small-town pride. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Stan Goldberg with inks by Jon D'Agostino and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1981 classic features a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
When a movie star comes to Riverdale to film a scene at the school and insists on casting Mr. Weatherbee as a bumbling hick, Archie Andrews steps in to protect the principal’s dignity—leading to a series of mischievous antics that threaten to derail the shoot. With Betty, Veronica, and even Geraldine caught in the chaos, it’s up to Archie to keep the school from becoming the backdrop for a humiliating movie moment.
Archie, Reggie, and Jughead take on a new kind of hero gig when Mr. Lodge donates a rundown storefront to the group, turning it into a makeshift help desk for their friends. With a mix of good intentions, classic Riverdale chaos, and a few unexpected visits from Brutus, Herman, and Horace, the trio tries to keep the place running—though not everyone agrees on what “helping” actually means.
