ARCHIE ARCHIVES HC (2025)

"Dark Horse Comics and Archie Comics Publications are thrilled to present Archie Archives! Seventy years ago, a small independent comics publisher in New York introduced a new kind of character to comics fans. He wasn't a superhero or a warrior, neither a spaceman, nor a villain-he was Archie Andrews, the red headed teenaged 'everyman' we all grew up with! Volume 1 of the Archie Archives series shines the spotlight on young Mr. Andrews's earliest adventures on the streets of Riverdale, from the budding romances he shares with Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge, to his anxious antics at Riverdale High and all the trouble he's caused along the way! o Collects all of the first appearances of Archie Andrews from Pep and Jackpot Comics, through Pep #31 and Jackpot #8. "

"The funniest and most anticipated archive series of the year continues this summer with Archie Archives Volume 2 from Dark Horse! Gas up your jalopy and run a comb through that wild hair-Archie, Jughead, and the gang are all back with another laugh-packed volume of vintage comics to delight even the most fanatical of fans. Dark Horse's gorgeously restored archive editions of these early Archie adventures are the talk of the town, and you won't want to miss out on your fair share of the fun. Whether he's double-dating (or is that double-timing?) with Betty and Veronica, or pulling silly pranks on everyone at Riverdale High, nobody can keep up with Archie Andrews-unless they're reading these books!
