☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume continues the Archie Americana Series' nostalgic look back at the 1980s, collecting a selection of classic Archie stories from that decade. Featuring the familiar antics of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and the rest of the Riverdale gang, this book captures the humor and cultural flavor of the era through tales involving school, friendships, and the usual romantic hijinks.
In "Health Nuts," Archie goes all-in on the punk look to impress Tina, a girl who claims she’ll only date someone with a mohawk—leading him to don a fake one to school. Reggie, determined not to be left behind, gets a real mohawk, but Tina’s sudden move means she never sees it. Written by Nate Butler and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 2010 issue features a cover by Rex Lindsey.
In "A Flair for Wear," the Archies try to film a music video with a notoriously fussy director who demands endless costume changes, turning their creative session into a whirlwind of fashion chaos. With every new outfit more outrageous than the last, the band struggles to keep their cool—and their style—under pressure.
In "Fashion Frolic," the Riverdale faculty takes a quirky stand against the students' wild style choices by dressing up in the same outrageous looks the teens have been copying from MTV—turning the fashion war into a full-blown school-wide spectacle.
In this satirical twist on superhero tropes, Archie teams up with his high-tech car—powered by Mr. Lodge’s sponsorship—to take on crime in Riverdale, all while navigating a surprisingly smooth romance with Veronica, whose charm may have more on her mind than just a date.
In "Out of the Ordinary," Archie goes all out to impress a punk girl named Tina by trying to fit in with her scene—complete with a mohawk wig. When Tina casually says she’ll only date someone with a mohawk, Archie’s commitment to the look takes a wild turn, sparking a playful rivalry with Reggie, who responds with a real mohawk of his own.
In "Robo-Teen," Archie’s life takes a wild turn after a ski slope mishap leaves him partially rebuilt with robotic parts. Now packing super strength and a new lease on life, he’s figuring out how to balance his mechanical upgrades with the usual chaos of Riverdale.
