Archie [Archie: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics] comic books issue 1

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "1946-1948!" Long before Archie Andrews had to finally choose between Betty and Veronica, cartoonist and Archie co-creator Bob Montana guided Archie and his gang into a series of outlandish antics and gags on a daily basis for nearly 30 years. Starting with these very first strips from 1946-1948, Montana's brilliant storytelling and animated flair for humor comes to life in strips that have never been reprinted before. Fans can marvel at the laughable love triangle, sexy women, bumbling sidekicks and overbearing educators, and rediscover, or discover for the first time, the genius of Bob Montana. Hardcover (Horizontal Format), 11-in. x 8 1/2-in., 328 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $39.99.
