The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #2

Veronica Lodge’s latest fashion statement—her dazzling, high-end swimwear—quickly becomes the talk of Riverdale, though not for the reasons she intended. When Betty Cooper, Veronica, and Gloria Tiltsnoot all insist the suit has been ravaged by moths, even Hiram Lodge and his ever-loyal butler Smithers can’t make sense of the mysterious damage.

In "Voo-doodit?", Jughead Jones sets out to prove voodoo is all nonsense—so he crafts a trio of hilariously exaggerated voodoo dolls, complete with exaggerated features, and puts on a show for his skeptical cousin Souphead. With help from Archie, Reggie, and even a grumpy Mr. Weatherbee, Jughead’s over-the-top demonstration is less about magic and more about getting a laugh—though whether Souphead is convinced or just confused remains to be seen.

In this lighthearted 1977 tale from The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #2, General Archie and Sergeant Moose face a surprising challenge when Ronnie attempts to enlist in their army—only to win over the troops with her mysterious "secret orders." With playful military antics and classic humor, the story unfolds as the ranks rally around a new recruit who may just be the army’s most unexpected leader.

Jughead Jones and the gang are thrilled to win a dream vacation on Breadfruit Island—until they discover the tropical paradise comes with a sticky twist: the island’s famed breadfruit harvest demands a lifetime of picking. With Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, and Pop Tate all caught in the fruity frenzy, even the most carefree getaway takes a surprising turn.

In "Debt Ridden," Jughead Jones finds himself caught between two friends when Reggie Mantle pressures him into setting up Archie Andrews so Reggie can finally win Veronica’s attention. But when Jughead warns Archie, the trio’s friendship takes a turn as Archie convinces Jughead to pull off a clever double-cross—leaving Jughead to wonder if he’s the one who’s really being played.
