Plot
The Punisher has made a deal with the government to hunt down a notorious drug dealer named "Red" who is hiding in Riverdale. The deal requires him to forgo his normally lethal methods and apprehend the suspect instead of killing him. This is fortunate, because Red looks exactly like Archie (though, perhaps for the benefit of the reader, Red is drawn as somewhat more muscular). Archie is mistaken for Red by the Punisher, who is undercover as a Phys-Ed. teacher at Riverdale High, while Red is sometimes mistaken for Archie by his friends. All parties remain completely in character throughout the issue, although Riverdale's inherent innocence compels the Punisher to allow his true quarry to live, for once. The comic ends with the joking suggestion that the next crossover will be between Wolverine and Jughead.
