The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #55
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "He's a Card," Jughead Jones grumbles his way through a Christmas caroling trip with friends, convinced every misstep is proof that the season is doomed—until a surprising twist reveals their real plan. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s expressive art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1989 gem captures the charm of a classic Archie moment. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo perfectly captures the holiday spirit with a touch of mischief.
In "The Pick of the Brain," Archie gets a hands-on lesson in sleep-learning thanks to Dilton's latest invention—though the real test comes when Reggie tries to sneak in on the action. With a mix of science, smarts, and classic mischief, the trio finds themselves in a race against bedtime.
In "Baker's Dozen," Jughead’s accidental pie toss sets off a chaotic chain reaction when the dessert lands square on Reggie’s face—sparking a full-blown pie fight that sweeps through the school cafeteria. As the chaos unfolds, everyone ends up sampling the pie, and the unexpected flavor proves impossible to resist, leading to a surprisingly peaceful moment of shared eating.
Jughead’s grumbling about caroling turns into full-blown dread when every step of the outing goes wrong—snowballs, broken sleds, and a lost hat. But when the gang finally reveals their real plan, he finds himself caught off guard by a surprise party he never saw coming.
