☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Very Uplifting Experience," Jughead Jones finds himself captivated by the glamorous lifestyle of a famous actor, sparking a sudden and unexpected desire to follow in his footsteps. With typical enthusiasm, Jughead dives into acting—completely out of character, even going so far as to pretend to enjoy Ethel’s company—only to realize that some things, like hamburgers, are simply too precious to give up. Samm Schwartz handles art, inks, and lettering, while Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli bring the cover to life.
In "Big Mouth," Veronica Moon hears a rumor that Betty Cooper has won a million dollars, and she’s instantly determined to get in on the good news—no matter the cost. After sweet-talking her way into Betty’s favor, she learns the truth: the prize actually went to Betty’s cousin, not Betty herself.
In "Buzzin' Cousin," Veronica sets a playful trap to test Archie's loyalty by sending her glamorous cousin Alice to flirt with him—only for the plan to backfire when Alice ends up accidentally targeting Jughead instead. The mix-up sparks a series of awkward, humorous moments as the usual dynamics of Riverdale’s love triangle take a surprising turn.
Jughead’s had enough of Reggie’s constant teasing, and when Veronica hosts a costume party, he sees his perfect chance for payback. With Reggie arriving in a bee costume, Jughead shows up dressed as a massive can of bug spray—ready to turn the tables in the most deliciously absurd way.
In "Drop Shot," Chuck's focus on perfecting his game leads him down a path where skill on the court starts to cost him something far more important—his relationship with Nancy. When his obsession begins to strain their bond, he faces the quiet moment when she chooses someone else, leaving him to reckon with what he’s been missing all along.
In "Ambition Mission," Jughead Jones finds himself dazzled by the glamorous lifestyle of a famous actor and, inspired, tries out a new persona—completely out of character—just to see what it’s like. But after a whirlwind of pretending to be someone he’s not, he realizes that even fame can’t beat the simple joy of a good hamburger and being true to himself.
When a rebellious young artist tags the school halls with bold abstract graffiti, Jughead steps in with a surprisingly creative solution—arranging for Mickey Angelo to paint a mural outside the school instead. It’s a chance to turn chaos into art, but not everyone’s ready to see where the brushstroke leads.
In "It's The Thought That Counts!", Archie tries to prove he’s more than just a regular visitor by staying home to help with chores—only to find that his best intentions are no match for his usual clumsiness. Fred’s grumbling about Archie’s time at Veronica’s sets the stage for a lighthearted, chaotic attempt at doing something right.
In "Book of Love," Jughead spins a charming lie to Ethel, claiming he’s fallen for her just to avoid being chased in the Girls' Day race. But when Ethel catches on to his ruse, she’s ready to deliver a surprise of her own—leaving Jughead to wonder if he’s the one being played.
Jughead tries to talk Archie out of picking a fight with the feared Vic the Violent, warning him that even Big Moose won’t cross him—until Archie insists on proving he’s not afraid.
In "Disguise the Limit," Reggie’s prank takes a twist when he dons a lifelike Archie mask to stir up trouble, sparking jealousy and frustration in Veronica and Big Moose. Jughead, not one to be outdone, gets his own Reggie mask made—just to show him what it’s like to be the target of a clever disguise.
