THIS JUNE, RELIVE HISTORY WITH ARCHIE AND HIS FRIENDS!

This June, Archie and his friends are going to relive history...and little do they know that reenacting history has a long history itself! Over the centuries, many historical events have been recreated by people acting out roles with faithful costumes and language. Such reenactments have included:

The Roman restaging of famous battles as public spectacle
Middle Age tournaments with historical themes from ancient cultures
19th century reenactments in Britain.
20th century commemorations of famous Russian military conquests
Pageants celebrating great American events like the founding of St. Louis

To this day, historical reenactments, or "living history," live on. Whether it's a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, a Renaissance Faire, or one of many Civil War reenactments that occur each year, history is more alive than ever, thanks to the faithful role-players who don the costumes and mannerisms of their predecessors.

Now, Archie and his friends are making history too...but you won't find it in a textbook. You'll have to turn to ARCHIE & FRIENDS #132 to learn all about it. In the story "One Nation, Under Archie, Part 1," Archie and his friends head for Washington, D.C. to take part in a living history festival - where everyone dons costumes of their favorite historical figures! Does Archie have what it takes to portray a Revolutionary War hero? Will Betty and Veronica fight over who will wear the Medieval Princess gown? Can Jughead rustle up some grub as a wild west cowboy? What kind of scoundrel will Reggie dress as? It's a trip through history filled with laughter and learning, as only the Archie gang can deliver! Don't miss the first part of this historical...and hysterical...two-part tale!
