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!
