ARCHIE COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: THE ADVENTURES OF LITTLE ARCHIE VOLUME TWO
The Adventures of Little Archie Volume Two will arrive in stores on March 26 from Archie Comics. The issue is by Bob Bolling and Dexter Taylor.
Here's how Archie describes the issue:
"By popular demand, another edition of little archie classics...and a new story, too! Yes, it's another great entry in the Archie Classics reprint series, now with a new 6 x 9 trim size that lets us pass the savings on to our readers! Over the years, we've received countless requests to reprint the classic Little Archie stories. In 2004, we honored that request with a special edition focusing on some of the greatest Little Archie adventures ever written and drawn by Archie Comics' equivalent of Carl Barks, our own Bob Bolling! Now, we're back with another heaping helping of thrilling tales from the mind of Bolling, along with hysterical slapstick tales by Dexter Taylor! Included is a brand-new tale from Bob Bolling called "Dragon of Doom": Mad Doctor Doom and Chester are back to bad 'ol tricks, this time using a giant dragon fly to steal armored cars! It's up to Little Archie, Chic and Kimberly to stop the dastardly duo in this 22 page epic!"
The Adventures of Little Archie Volume Two will be 96 pages and will cost $8.95.
