The Archies' [Paperback]

Various (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 24, 2009

The Archies have transcended all boundaries in their fifty-plus years of music-making, and today, Archie Comics pay tribute to this super-band of immortal teens by compiling their best and most famous appearances in this brand-new, full-color graphic novel! The Archies' Greatest Hits brings back the band's most memorable moments, from catastrophe to triumph! With Archie on lead guitar, Reggie on bass, Jughead on drums, Veronica on keyboard, and Betty on the tambourine, this pop group phenomenon has made history by being one of the few comic book bands to jump out of the pages of the book and record actual songs, like the Top Ten 1960's hit, "Sugar Sugar"!
