☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Future Shock," Jughead's latest whimsical persona—Mohare the Mystic, claiming to predict the past—pushes Veronica to outdo him by diving into future foretelling. Written and illustrated by Samm Schwartz with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Schwartz, this 1983 classic features a delightfully absurd twist on teen mysticism, all rendered in the signature style of Dan DeCarlo on the cover.
When Jughead Jones declares himself "Mohare the Mystic" and claims he can predict the past, Veronica Lodge isn’t about to be outdone—she sets out to predict the future, turning the school’s usual antics into a high-stakes game of wits. With Betty Cooper, Archie Andrews, and Dilton Doiley caught in the middle, the line between joke and prophecy starts to blur in this quirky, fast-paced six-page tale.
Jughead Jones hatches a wild plan to get his hands on Moose Mason’s prized Bonsai tree—by claiming it’s cursed with a mysterious contagion. With Reggie Mantle playing along and Archie Andrews caught in the middle, the prank spirals into a full-blown scheme that tests Moose’s loyalty and Miss Grundy’s patience.
In this lighthearted one-pager from The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #24, Jughead Jones, Reggie Mantle, Archie Andrews, and Veronica Lodge dive into a series of delightfully silly definitions—ranging from "poise" to "love"—with their trademark banter and comedic timing. The quartet’s playful take on everyday words keeps the humor crisp and the laughs coming, all in classic Archie-style fun.
Jughead Jones tries to help Veronica Lodge keep a surprise party for Archie Andrews a secret, but his well-intentioned efforts backfire in the most awkward way. As miscommunications spiral and friendships fray, Jughead finds himself the odd one out—despite only wanting to help.
Jughead Jones hatches a wild plan to get Reggie Mantle elected junior class president—by running him as a mystery candidate whose true identity stays hidden until victory is secured. With Archie and Moose caught in the chaos of the campaign, the whole school is thrown into a whirlwind of speculation and pranks.
