Archie Andrews, everyone's favorite teenager from Riverdale, is generous, well mannered, but extremely impulsive. It is this impulsiveness that usually gives him cause for regret as he enters in and out of teenage dilemmas. One of the most important characteristics of Archie is his susceptibility to the feminine charm. For most of his life, he has been caught in the middle of one of America's most famous love triangles between Betty and Veronica. His adventures in trying to choose one of the two have always gotten him into trouble. And as if that weren't enough, he now also has to contend with the wild card redhead known as Cheryl Blossom, who also plans to steal Archie's heart!

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!
