The Best of Archie Comics Archie Superstars 9781879794849 Books Reviews

Archie has been popular through the decades. Not only was there a comic but also a radio show and a cartoon where everyone showed off their music abilities. "Archie's here, Betty's here, Veronica too. Reggie's here, hey Jughead, where are you?" Archie comics bring back memories of my childhood. I still remember my first Archie comic, my aunt bought it for me while we were at the beach. This book has enough Archie and friends for everyone. You get to read the first comic and see just how different the character and storyline were. Who knew Veronica showed up in Riverdale because of a bonehead move by Jughead and Archie's creepy obsession with writing her letters he never intended to mail? Before each group of comics you have short articles by people who worked on the comic telling why they liked this particular story. There is also an appearance by Stan Lee, who knew he was such an Archie fan? Other comics from the Archie family show up as well. Enjoy your ride down memory land and get to know Archie and the gang all over again.
The Best of Archie Comics is a large collection of Archie comics from the range of the comic's history. One of the longest in comics. The book is divided into decades from the 40's to the present including short essays about changes, callenges and successes of the comics with the changing times. The essays come across as too much cheerleading and self-promotion (as do some of the comics themselves) but they do have some interesting information. The stories I find most engaging are the earlier ones. It is great to see the changes and the similarities from the first and earliest Archie to the present. The choice of stories are pretty good although the closer we come to the present the worse they become. The text explains that today, Archie comics are read by younger readers and cater to this audience. So simplifying the stories they actually suffer. Also in recent years Archie has engaged in "event" stories meant to attract more readers. Part of one of these stories is included (where Archie and Veronica marry). But only a part. Which is an odd choice in a collected edition. If you're into Archie or want to relive childhood memories its a neat collection. Also enjoy the formative years of Archie and how he became the trite, tired character he is today.
The Best of Archie Comics Book 2 Deluxe Edition is more diverse than 2016’s Deluxe Book 1.
