About the series
From 1987 to 1990, Archie Comics reimagined its classic teen cast as middle-schoolers in The New Archies, a 22-issue series that followed a younger Archie Andrews and his friends through everyday adventures. Written primarily by Mike Pellowski and illustrated by talents including Henry Scarpelli, Dan DeCarlo, and Doug Crane, the series offered a fresh, playful take on Riverdale’s familiar hijinks. It stands as a charming, era-specific experiment that briefly updated the franchise for a new generation of readers.
