Issue description
'The Matchmakers,' Part 3. The epic saga of Jughead's new love life - and new, realistic look - continues! After 'setting up' Jughead and Sandy, matchmakers Archie, Betty, Reggie, and Veronica are surprised at how well their plan is working. Especially when studious, athletic Sandy starts neglecting both her studies and her girls' softball team in favor of spending time with Jughead. Make that Forsythe, as he now prefers to be called. Exchanging his trademark 'crown' hat for a typical baseball cap, it seems like Sandy is having quite the influence on the once unique soul. Unless of course it's all a big put-on. The gang isn't so sure when they see how well Jughead and Sandy interact as partners in the couples' competition at the school picnic! It's another intriguing chapter in this 4-part epic! Last year's 'Bad Boy Trouble' set the comics world on its ear as the teens were depicted in a realistic style. Comic book legends Joe Staton and Al Milgrom carry on that look, handling pencils and inks respectively, in what is sure to be one of the more intriguing Archie stories of the year!
