Jughead Comics

Archie Andrews isn’t the cool one anymore. Jughead Jones is.

Jughead is the best friend of Archie Andrews. He is best known for his insightful yet cynical wit, his unmatched appetite, and his masterful cunning at accomplishing his goals with minimal effort (often called "laziness" by other characters). Equally well known but less understood are the signature beanie and cocky half-lidded squint that have remained with him since his creation as a character over half a century ago.

The most famous teenager in the world, Archie Andrews of Riverdale, turns 75 next month. The December 1941 issue of the Pep Comics anthology also introduced his long-mistreated love interest, the quintessential girl next door, Betty Cooper (her rival for Archie’s affections, the raven-locked Veronica Lodge, would make her first appearance several months later). But it’s Jughead—lovable, sarcastic, smirky Forsythe Pendleton “Jughead” Jones III—who is still making news.

Jughead generally has a characteristic wry and sarcastic sense of humor.

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.
