Ten years ago, Archie Comics broke new ground with its first ever reboot in the company’s then 75-year history. After a historic 666-issue run, the Archie series was updated for a modern audience, by two top comics creators, writer Mark Waid and artist Fiona Staples. Now, ten years later, we’re revisiting the moment that made news headlines across the globe in this deluxe, oversized compendium for Archie fans and collectors.
WELCOME TO THE NEW RIVERDALE! America’s Favorite Teenager, Archie Andrews, is reborn in the pages of this must-have graphic novel deluxe compendium, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the iconic comic book series that turned heads and made major headlines. Meet Riverdale High teen Archie, his oddball, food-loving best friend Jughead, girl-next-door Betty and well-to-do snob Veronica Lodge as they embark on a modern reimagining of the beloved Archie world. It’s all here: the love triangle, friendship, humor, charm and lots of fun—but with a decidedly modern twist, including romance, drama, and political intrigue. This is Archie like you’ve never seen him before! Brought to you by some of the masters of the comic book genre, including writer MARK WAID and the all-star lineup of artists: FIONA STAPLES, ANNIE WU, VERONICA FISH, THOMAS PITILLI, and RYAN JAMPOLE, the first volume of ARCHIE presents readers with a new take on the beloved Archie Comics concepts while retaining the best elements from the company’s 85 years of history.
