Jumbo Celebration of Over Eight Decades' Worth of Archie

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the first appearance of Archie Andrews in 1941's Pep Comics #22 and, as part of Archie Comics celebrations, a new magazine is being launched for the occasion.

Hitting stores on March 18, the first issue of Archie Jumbo Comic Magazine is a 112-page collection of the comic strips from throughout the decades.

Honouring 85 years of heart, humour, and hijinks, this must-have magazine will collect some of the most important (and hilarious!) stories in Archie’s history, featuring your favourite characters from the worlds of Archie, Sabrina, Josie & the Pussycats, and more!

Unfinished horror masterpiece Afterlife With Archie aside, it's this continuity-free, classic style of Archie antics where my love for these characters lies.
