BOOK PREVIEW

Archie, A Celebration of America's Favorite Teenagers

"A tell-all history of the creation and durability of Archie!" --USA Today

This thick, large format, handsome tome showcases the whole fascinating history of the longstanding major comics company Archie Publications. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Archie, his sexy girlfriends, Bettie and Veronica, and his pals, Jughead and Reggie. The book features Archie artists and writers, from the old masters Bob Montana, Dan DeCarlo, Harry Lucey, etc., to the contemporary tyros, like Fernando Ruiz and Dan Parent (creator of Kevin Keller). There's tons of rare and unpublished art, revealing information from an unpublished autobiography by John Goldwater--creator of Archie and co-founder of MLJ, later Archie Publications--and much, much more!
