Synopsis

ARCHIE'S ORIGIN STORY TOLD AT LAST

Archie's earliest adventures told by two of today's greatest comics creators.


ARCHIE, one of the longest-running titles in comic book history, is rebooted here in this full-colour collection that brings together two of the most talented creators in comics, Mark Waid and Veronica Fish. Together they create a surprising and definitive take on Archie's origin - a story that has never been told.

This book captures the bite and hilarious edge of Archie's original tales in a modern, forward-looking manner, while still retaining the character's all-ages appeal. If classic Archie is a Saturday morning cartoon, this new series is prime time!
