About the series
In this chilling Archie Horror series (2017–2019), writer Frank Tieri and artists Joe Eisma, Pat Kennedy, and Tim Kennedy reimagine Jughead Jones as a werewolf, transforming Riverdale’s iconic burger-lover into a ravenous monster battling a centuries-old family curse. The 13-issue run blends small-town teen drama with visceral horror, as Jughead struggles to control his lycanthropic hunger while his friends face the bloody consequences. A standout entry in Archie’s horror line, it matters for its bold, genre-twisting take on a classic character, proving that even the most wholesome comic universe can harbor terrifying secrets.
