Customer Reviews
New look? Sure. New story? Hardly. This story was written, not by Melanie Morgan, but by Michael Pellowski during the early 1990s. The original title for this story is “It’s First Love, Jughead Jones”. Of course, the story was probably cut down and edited which is probably why Archie Comics is citing Ms. Morgan for the script and not giving proper credit where proper credit is due. This was the case last year, with Betty and Veronica’s attempt at a ‘new look’ with the “Bad Boy Trouble” mini-series. “Bad Boy Trouble”, which is accredited to Melanie Morgan (by Archie Comics), was another story in the early 1990s written by Michael J. Pellowski, originally titled “Bad News Boyfriend”.
