"Freshmen Year - The Missing Chapters: Jughead": For
years, fans of Archie Comics have wondered what happened in the
years before the fabled teens of Riverdale entered high school. How
did everyone meet? Were the teachers always at the high school? Did
all of Archie's friends always live in Riverdale? Just when did the
"eternal love triangle" first start? In the "Freshman
Year" saga, originally presented in the pages of ARCHIE
#587-591, readers finally learned the back-story behind Riverdale's
fabled cast of characters. But that wasn't the whole story!
Starting with this issue and running through four consecutive
issues, writer Batton Lash fills in the blanks, giving readers an
even bigger glimpse of what went on with Jughead, Betty &
Veronica, Reggie, Chuck, and Pencilneck G. In this issue, we follow
Jughead as his family moves out of Riverdale. What is life like in
his new town? Can he make a friend as loyal as Archie? Who is Sadie
- just a friend, or something more? You won't want to miss the
thrilling answers - reserve your copy today!
