Archie's Parables

A single 1986 issue from Barbour Publishing, Archie's Parables reimagines the classic Archie Comics characters in a series of faith-based, moral lessons. Produced during the mid-80s wave of religious-themed comics, this one-shot stands out for its unusual premise of merging the wholesome Riverdale gang with biblical storytelling. Though a brief and niche entry, it represents an interesting cross-pollination of mainstream teen humor with Christian publishing.
