About the series
Archie Horror kicked off with this 2014 series, which reimagined the wholesome citizens of Riverdale in a full-blown zombie apocalypse. Written primarily by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and brought to life by Francesco Francavilla's moody, painted art, the four-issue run turned familiar faces like Archie, Betty, and Cheryl Blossom into survivors of a supernatural tragedy. It was a bold, critically acclaimed departure that proved the Archie universe could thrive in darker genres, setting the stage for the publisher's horror line.
