Archie's Big Book #4

From Archie's Big Book #4 comes "Archie's Fables — Old Favorites Retold in Teen Age Tempo!!", and this page alone makes the premise irresistible: classic fairy tales filtered through the cheerful chaos of Riverdale. The opening strip, "Goldilocks and the Three Bores," kicks off with Archie reading aloud from a big book before segueing into a delightfully self-aware Betty-as-Goldilocks romp — complete with a fairytale countryside, a cameo from Jughead in his signature crown, and Betty complaining that her feet hurt from all that walking. At $19.99, this 2018 collection promises a generous helping of that same warm, comedic energy across every page.
