This is your chance: Find out for yourself why being young never gets old when ARCHIE #1 lands in stores on September 2nd!
For his entire life, 17-year-old Archie Andrews has had it all: adoring friends, football glory, and a natural charm that always seems to make him the center of attention. Now, through his eyes, experience the warmth and wonder of Riverdale and its near-infinite roster of residents—the popular kids, the endearing oddballs, and everyone in between – as Archie embarks on a whirlwind, all-star adventure through his town’s past, present, and future … beginning with a local film festival that’s about to turn everything upside down! And, at the center of it all, lies an enigmatic paradox that only Archie’s pal Jughead Jones can possibly unravel … Plus: Puzzles! Pin-ups! And a veritable sweet shop of surprises that all link to the same inextricable mystery … Finally, your antidote for postmodern malaise has arrived. Welcome to the all-new ARCHIE #1!
“Much like when Archie Andrews first appeared in PEP Comics #22 in 1941, there are a lot of stressful things happening in the world right now,” says Senior Editor Bess Pallares. “Retreating into the fantasy of a perfect, easy life in Riverdale sounds tempting, but now as then, Riverdale is not a utopia immune to drama, uncertainty, and people who need help – but it does have Archie, who’s ready to start each day with a smile and a desire to be the best friend, movie date, quarterback, and boy next door anyone could ask for. The hilarious, heartwarming launch to this new series from Ben and Fábio is not a distraction from our stressful world, but a reminder of the good things that still exist when we help each other … and remember to laugh.”
