Jughead (also known as Archie's Pal Jughead) is an ongoing comic book series featuring the Archie Comics character of the same name. The character first appeared in Pep Comics #22 (cover dated December 1941). Jughead proved to be popular enough to warrant his own self-titled ongoing comic book series which began publication in January 1949.

Publication history

Cover to Archie's Pal Jughead #1 (January 1949).

Jughead first appeared in Pep Comics #22 in 1941 (also Archie's first appearance) and later grew into his own title Archie's Pal Jughead Comics in 1949, which also guest-starred Archie and his friends. Common story themes included Jughead's insatiable appetite for hamburgers, avoiding Big Ethel who has a crush on him and outsmarting his nemesis Reggie Mantle.

The cover title was shortened to Jughead with #122 in July 1965, though the indicia continued to list Archie's Pal Jughead until also changing in November's #126.[1][2] In #325, Cheryl Blossom made her second appearance after debuting in Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica that same month. The original Jughead series ended with #352 (June 1987).[3]

Jughead returned with a relaunched #1 in August 1987. With #46 (June 1993), the series was renamed Archie's Pal Jughead Comics, echoing the previous volume. In the same issue Jughead finds out that his mother is expecting a baby, and in #50, the baby girl, nicknamed "Jellybean" is born. The second volume ended in 2012 with issue #214.

A third series, titled Jughead, was released in October 2015 as part of Archie Comics' New Riverdale. It is written by Chip Zdarsky with artwork by Erica Henderson.[4] Derek Charm took over as regular artist starting with issue #7.[5]
