Jughead's Double Digest #36
In "E-S-S-A-Y," Fred's well-meaning attempt to keep Archie at home for chores backfires in a surprisingly chaotic way—especially when the usual Riverdale rhythm gets thrown off by a very unusual guest. Written by Dick Malmgren and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this 1996 Double Digest tale captures the classic Archie charm with a twist that’ll have readers laughing before they even turn the page. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli, perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
