Jughead: New Riverdale Compact Comics Edition

by Chip Zdarsky, Erica Henderson (Illustrator)

The incomparable Jughead Jones finally takes center stage in his own New Riverdale compact edition—as imagined by Eisner Award–winning creators Chip Zdarsky (Captain America) and Erica Henderson (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl)!

Archie Andrews’s best friend, Jughead Jones—a freethinker with an insatiable appetite for food and justice—takes on the school administration when a strict set of rules and increasingly bland healthy lunch menu threaten the fate of his beloved cafeteria at Riverdale High! Forced to his breaking point by an almost-empty stomach, Jughead will need to marshal his fellow students and save his friends from a soulless teen existence sodden by healthy, sodium-free fare. Burgers and lasagna shall reign once again!

A hilarious, entertaining, and irreverent examination of one of Archie Comics’ most iconic characters, this pocket-sized collection re-presents one of the 21st century’s ultimate Jughead comics epics in all of its lip-smacking glory!

Collecting Jughead (2015) #1–6.
