One of the most eagerly awaited of our July releases, the facsimile edition of LITTLE ARCHIE #1 is overflowing with nostalgia and whimsy. This is thanks in large part to the stories and art by Archie living legend Bob Bolling (who recently celebrated his 98th birthday!)
Originally published in 1956, this comic is an early example of young versions of iconic, established characters. (A trend that characters ranging from the Muppets to the Flintstones to Spider-Man have subsequently participated in). Here we’re traveling back in time 70 years to the first-ever appearance of Archie’s younger self! You’ll be introduced to the world of Little Archie, and all the adventures he and his li’l friends get into! In other words, expect plenty of schemes and smiles.
Bob Bolling — who’s entering the Eisner Hall of Fame this year — made his name by delicately crafting stories in which the fun and bittersweet aspects of childhood collide is the most masterful of ways. As such, you won’t want to miss out on the piece of Archie Comics history in LITTLE ARCHIE #1, faithfully reprinted in a full-facsimile edition and including original ads!
Final order-cut off for this title is June 29th, but contact your local comic shop and ask them to reserve your copy of LITTLE ARCHIE #1 today and experience a reading experience unlike anything else in the Archieverse!
