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

File:Jughead issue 1.jpg).]]

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.{{Cite web|url=http://comicvine.gamespot.com/archies-pal-jughead-122/4000-309064/|title=Archie's Pal Jughead #122 (Issue)}}{{cite web |url=https://www.comics.org/series/12646/ |title=Jughead (Archie, 1965 Series)|website=Grand Comics Database}} 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).{{Cite web|url=http://comicvine.gamespot.com/jughead-352/4000-102831/|title=Jughead #352 (Issue)}}

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.{{Cite web|url=http://archiecomics.com/zdarsky-and-henderson-set-the-table-with-new-jughead-series/|title=Zdarsky and Henderson Set the Table with New JUGHEAD Series|date=27 May 2015}} Derek Charm took over as regular artist starting with issue #7.{{Cite web|url=http://archiecomics.com/rising-star-derek-charm-joins-chip-zdarsky-as-guest-artist-on-jughead-this-june/|title = Rising Star Derek Charm Joins Chip Zdarsky as Guest Artist on JUGHEAD this June!|date = 22 March 2016}}
