Full Description
Continuing our Eisner Award-winning series collecting the Archienewspaper strip, we reach the mid-1960s when the now-famous cast of Archie,Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Reggie are part of a rich ensemble presented bycartoonist Bob Montana. In addition to Fred and Mary Andrews (Archie's mom andpop) and Veronica's father, Mr. Lodge, Montana weaves gags around the entirestaff of Riverdale High, including Mr. Weatherbee, Miss Grundy, Mr. Flutesnoot,Miss Shapely, and Miss Beazly, among others. As Bart Beaty notes, "The strip isnot so much about Archie as it is about the interaction of all those characterswho exist in his orbit. The relatively large cast is particularly suited to thegag-a-day format." Includes more than 800 comics from April 1963 through the end of1965.
