About this Collection

This hardcover collection kicks off Dark Horse's archival reprint series, gathering the earliest Archie newspaper strips and comic book stories from the 1940s. It introduces the core cast of Riverdale—Archie, Betty, Jughead, Reggie, Veronica, and the adults like Mr. Weatherbee and Miss Grundy—in their original, pre-teen hijinks and slapstick humor. A must for fans of classic Americana and the foundational era of the Archie universe.

Archie's jalopy is costing too much, so Archie offers to make it a taxi service. He picks up a man at the train station and while trying to shortcut, ends up on a road to the country. Bad things happen to the man and when Archie's jalopy is hit by a train, they end up walking 17 miles to Riverdale. When Archie goes to school the next day, he finds out that the man is the new principal.
