☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Dramatic Reading," Jughead Jones faces his biggest social challenge yet: dodging Ethel Muggs on "Girls Day," when the girls chase the guys and the one caught must date for a week. With his usual mix of hunger and wit, Jughead attempts to outsmart the situation using a little psychology—though his usual tricks might not be enough when Ethel’s determined to catch him. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Samm Schwartz’s expressive art, this classic Archie tale blends humor and high-stakes romance, all under Stan Goldberg’s iconic cover and Henry Scarpelli’s dynamic inks.
In "Dramatic Reading," Debbie is heartbroken after hearing a rumor that Joani said something unkind about her, while Millie tries to keep the peace. Jughead, ever the skeptic, refuses to believe the gossip and sets out to uncover the truth—leading to a mix of misunderstandings, playful drama, and the kind of high-stakes friendship tension only Riverdale can deliver.
In this lighthearted 1995 tale from *The Jughead Jones Comics Digest #98*, Archie and Jughead team up for a class assignment, compiling humorous quotes about women—only to find chaos when Archie accidentally passes Jughead’s unfiltered remarks to Veronica, who isn’t thrilled to be the subject of such playful (and possibly exaggerated) observations.
Dilton Doiley’s knack for crunching stats has been a game-changer for the Riverdale High football team, but now he’s itching to get on the field himself—despite being the team’s unofficial quarterback in the digital realm. With Coach Kleats skeptical and his friends (Archie, Reggie, Moose, and Pop Tate) watching, Dilton must prove that brains can be just as valuable as brawn when the whistle blows.
In "Buzzin' Cousin," Veronica puts Archie’s loyalty to the test by sending her glamorous cousin Alice to flirt with him—only for the charm to land squarely on Jughead, much to everyone’s surprise. The mix-up sets off a series of awkward, hilarious moments as the unsuspecting teen misreads the situation entirely.
In a delightfully absurd twist, Jughead Jones unexpectedly becomes President of the United States, thrusting the sleepy town of Riverdale into a whirlwind of political chaos. With Archie and Veronica imagining the consequences, Jughead’s unorthodox leadership—complete with a secret sandwich-based diplomacy—might just bring peace to the divided nations of East and West Slobovia.
In "Book of Love," Jughead Jones attempts to outsmart Ethel Muggs on "Girls Day," a school tradition where girls chase boys and the one caught must date their pursuer for a week. With a mix of nerves and classic Jughead logic, he tries to apply psychology to avoid the inevitable — but will his plan hold up against Ethel’s determination?
