Product description
85 YEARS WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING! Archie Comics, Oni Press, and a nonstop parade of comics’ greatest talents proudly present a momentously oversized, 48-page anniversary salute to the one and only Archie Andrews—featuring a pitch-perfect and totally self-contained jumping-on point to the all-new ARCHIE ongoing series . . . and surprise guests and special features galore from across Riverdale’s past, present, and future!
First: New York Times bestselling writer Ben H. Winters (EC’s Cruel Universe, Benjamin) and multiple Eisner Award–winning artist Fábio Moon (Daytripper, Casanova) welcome a milestone new beginning for Riverdale’s most popular high-school heartthrob, fastest athlete, and milkshake-slurping redhead. Introducing: Arnie Adams! Wait, what? Discover the Archie you only thought you knew—and the first appearance of his roguish new rival—in an unforgettably elegant and frantically fractured modern-day fairy tale that cuts straight to the heart of comics’ most human hero! Then: Archie’s 85th anniversary spectacular gets even bigger as a spotlight-grabbing cast of all-star talents join the party with brand-new, must-read stories, including Eisner Award winner Kelly Sue DeConnick (FML, Captain Marvel) & Eisner Award nominated artist Leonardo Romero (Birds of Prey); Eisner Award–winning creators Ryan North (Fantastic Four) & Derek Charm (Toxic Summer); Eisner Award–winning cartoonist Caroline Cash (Adventure Time: Bubbline College Special); Archie Comics living legend Dan Parent (Life with Archie); and Emmy Award–winning cartoonist Jay Stephens (Dwellings)!Plus: Pin-ups, puzzles, and a deluxe re-presentation of Archie’s historic first appearance from Pep Comics #22 . . . originally published in December 1941!

What Legionnaires Are Saying

Comic Legion keeps us posted from FOC right through release day, helping inform us of any comics we may want. Everything always shows up in beautiful shape.
Premium books, premium service, always top quality from Comic Legion. Very happy with the order, and I look forward to getting more!
Beautiful books! Excellent, fast service, shipping and packaging!
The NCBD YouTube shows are the highlight of my week. They always have the trending new books, and you can tell every copy has been checked for damages.
New, high-quality modern books at the best prices, amazing shipping quality and excellent service with great comic knowledge. Legion shows are a must-see!
Beautiful, high-quality books shipped fast with great protection. Condition as described, fantastic value and appearance. Thank you!
Comic Legion goes the extra mile to make sure people get the hot new books. Their screening process is the real deal, and every book I've received has been near mint, bagged and boarded. That means a lot to me as someone who submits a ton of comics for grading.
Super well packed. Comics are immaculate. Quick shipping too. Thanks again!
Immaculate condition, as described. Perfect communication, quick shipping, quality packaging.
Best customer service I've had from any comic shop. My Hold Box is always handled perfectly, and the FOC Phalanx Discord channel reminders mean I never miss a comic at FOC that I may end up wanting.
Comic Legion is where all the hot comics are. If you're not following them, you're missing out!
Excellent seller! Beautiful condition, beautiful books, items as described and well packaged!
