FIRST LOOK: Archie – The Man From R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E.

This is pretty cool.  A few months ago, Archie was running a story where Archie finds himself inadvertently becoming a super spy! Now that admittedly great story is collected in trade form! You can thrill to the adventures of the Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. as he takes on Mad Doctor Doom (not the one you’re thinking of). Get a little skeeved out when mistress of disguise, Sharry, the Spy Girl disguises herself as Miss Beazley! Trust me on this, the preview pages below doesn’t even scratch the surface of the fun the story contains.  Take a look!

THE MAN FROM R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E.
“The Blackest (and Bluest) Day,”“R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E Dissembled,” “The Crisis At Riverdale High” and “The Walking Dazed”
When Archie’s cousin Andrew comes to Riverdale there’s never a dull moment! And on this visit, he’s not alone! The villainous Mad Doctor Doom and his organization C.R.U.S.H have targeted the students of Riverdale High with a devious plan to turn them into the Walking Dazed! But when Andrew gets captured it’s up to Archie and his agents of R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. to stop the spread of Formula Z, rescue Andrew and help capture the mysterious Sharry, the Spy Girl.
