Archie Comics 85th Anniversary Presents: Archie's Movie Mania #1

Part of Archie Comics' 85th anniversary celebration, this 2026 one-shot delivers a double feature of brand-new stories for the price of one. Dan Parent's cover sets the Hollywood mood perfectly, presenting Archie in a series of movie-inspired guises — triumphant action hero hoisting a milkshake trophy, sword-and-sandal warrior wielding a shield emblazoned with the familiar "R," and a cloaked medieval figure holding a burger — all against a backdrop of film reels and the Hollywood sign. Betty and Veronica round out the cast in glamorous fashion, making this a thoroughly entertaining tribute to Riverdale's most beloved gang going full silver-screen.
