The Best Of Archie Americana

This is Archie's new sister volume to our all-time fastest-selling graphic novel series, featuring a focus on stories from the GOLDEN AGE of comics. Archie expects this to do very well as a full-color 416-page $9.99 volume. It will be the first in a three-part series, to be joined in the calendar year by SILVER and BRONZE AGE volumes as well. In 1941, Pep Comics introduced Archie Andrews, "America's newest boyfriend." Since then, Archie and his perennial teenage friends have entertained young and old alike with their hilarious misadventures. In this volume, you'll journey to a bygone era and unearth the roots of an American institution. The frantic forties and fifties -- a time when the comic book industry was young and anything was possible. Stories from this Golden Age of comics had an "anything goes" quality -- perhaps none more so than the freewheeling antics of Archie Andrews and his friends.
