ARCHIE X ARMY OF DARKNESS #1 CVR B BILL GALVAN VAR
THIS IS A PRESALE LISTING | FOC DATE 01/05/2026 | ESTIMATED IN-STORE DATE 02/04/2026
IT’S A TEENAGE NIGHTMARE! There’s a certain man — name’s Ash, you may have heard of him — who is doomed to battle against the forces of evil, over and over again, whether he likes it or not. No matter where he goes, the cycle of violence always repeats itself — until the day that he arrives in the picturesque town of Riverdale. This supernaturally wholesome community seems to break the curse that has plagued Ash ever since he first encountered its otherworldly evil all those years ago. Or rather, the curse was broken — until an over-curious teenager named Archie finds a copy of the Necronomicon Ex Mortis and reads a portion of it aloud, summoning the horrifying Deadites once again! Now Ash and the good townsfolk of Riverdale must hold back the undead hordes long enough for Archie to undo what he’s unwittingly done. Otherwise, an Army of Darkness will roll over Riverdale and destroy everything and everyone in its path — and that’s just not going to happen on Ashley J. Williams’s watch! Fresh-faced author ERIC BURNHAM (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghost Busters) joins wide-eyed artist BILL GALVAN (Archie, Guardians of the Galaxy) for a long night’s journey into mayhem with Archie X Army of Darkness #1! Featuring clean-cut covers from GALVAN, ROBERT HACK, LAURA BRAGA, CRAIG CERMAK, and STUART SAYGER, this premier issue also boasts a special PREMIUM MYSTERY BLIND BAG that contains three limited editions of the issue selected randomly from a range of variant covers exclusive to this offering — including two original covers by GALVAN and FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA, as well as multiple line art variants and colored blanks. Please Note: The number of Blind Bags is limited, and allocations may occur.
