About this Collection

This volume collects the earliest adventures of Little Archie, presenting the childhood exploits of the iconic Archie Andrews and his friends from Riverdale. Featuring stories originally published in the 1950s and 1960s, the book showcases the lighter, whimsical tone of Bob Bolling's classic run, focusing on the grade-school antics of a young Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead. It's a nostalgic look at the formative years of the Archie universe, perfect for fans of the classic era.

In "Little Archie on Mars," the mischievous young Archie finds himself on a wild interplanetary adventure after a gorilla escapes from the Pride of Walvis Bay, setting off a chain of events that leads to a time-traveling scheme by Mad Doctor Doom. With his usual knack for chaos, Little Archie stumbles into a timeline where his presence is a constant across history—from the Civil War to ancient Egypt—forcing Doom to rethink his plans in a universe that's always one step ahead. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this 2004 classic blends whimsy and wonder, with Bolling's distinctive art bringing the zany journey to life on a cover he also crafted.
