“The Big Surprise”

In "The Big Surprise," Jughead Jones faces a rare challenge: he can't get a loan from anyone—even a bank—to buy a birthday gift for his dad. With Betty’s encouragement, he takes on a new kind of job: baby-sitting. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with expressive art by Samm Schwartz, this 1978 classic captures Jughead’s signature charm in a story where even the smallest tasks can lead to big surprises. The cover by Samm Schwartz perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
