Yes, it’s another great entry in the ARCHIE CLASSICS reprint series, now with a new 6 x 9 trim size that lets us pass the savings on to our readers! Over the years, we've received countless requests to reprint the classic LITTLE ARCHIE stories. In 2004, we honored that request with a special edition focusing on some of the greatest Little Archie adventures ever written and drawn by Archie Comic’s equivalent of Carl “the Duck Man” Barks, our own Bob Bolling! Now, we’re back with another heaping helping of thrilling tales from the mind of Bolling, along with hysterical slapstick tales by Dexter Taylor! Included is a brand-new tale from Bob Bolling called “Dragon of Doom”: Mad Doctor Doom and Chester are back to bad ‘ol tricks, this time using a giant dragon fly to steal armored cars! It’s up to Little Archie, Chic and Kimberly to stop the dastardly duo in this 22 page epic!

THE “FRESHMAN YEAR” SAGA BEGINS HERE!

THE “FRESHMAN YEAR” SAGA BEGINS HERE!

Travel back in time with this five-issue tale that takes Archie and his friends back to their very first year in high school.  It all starts with this poignant prologue which finds the gang wondering just what that first year will be like, while reflecting fondly on the past as well.  Along the way, the gang must deal with the pending departure of one of their closest friends, as well as their bickering parents.  And while the kids count the days until they enter their new school home, someone else is joining Riverdale High, too: Principal Waldo Weatherbee!  All this, plus allusions to Captain Pureheart, The Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E., Veronica’s worldwide travels, and more!
