ARCHIE COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: ARCHIE & FRIENDS #140
Archie & Friends #140 will arrive in stores on Feb. 10 from Archie Comics. The issue is written by Batton Lash, with art by Bill Galvan.
Here's how Archie describes the issue:
"'Freshmen Year Ð The Missing Chapters: Jughead': For years, fans of Archie Comics have wondered what happened in the years before the fabled teens of Riverdale entered high school. How did everyone meet? Were the teachers always at the high school? Did all of Archie's friends always live in Riverdale? Just when did the 'eternal love triangle' first start? In the 'Freshman Year' saga, originally presented in the pages of Archie #587-591, readers finally learned the back-story behind Riverdale's fabled cast of characters. But that wasn't the whole story! Starting with this issue and running through four consecutive issues, writer Batton Lash fills in the blanks, giving readers an even bigger glimpse of what went on with Jughead, Betty & Veronica, Reggie, Chuck, and Pencilneck G. In this issue, we follow Jughead as his family moves out of Riverdale. What is life like in his new town? Can he make a friend as loyal as Archie? Who is Sadie -- just a friend, or something more?"
Archie & Friends #140 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.50.
