“Archie Comics has been around for eight decades, with each and every decade offering a unique reflection of pop culture, fads, and music,” said Archie Comics Editor-in-Chief Mike Pellerito. “We all have our favorites, but culturally the ’60s were one of a kind, and that is especially true for Archie, when the gang was on TV and charting high in music sales. This book is filled with some of the very best stories and art by the best-ever comics talent, including Harry Lucey, Dan DeCarlo, Frank Doyle, George Gladir, and so many more. This is one of those books that comics fans and pop culture history aficionados need to have.”

I have only read the 60’s stories in reprints, but I truly believe this was the best era for Archie comics.

You might want to correct the headline.. It currently says the book was released in 2013.

Agreed. The 60s was a golden age, or should i say a silver age for Archie comics. DeCarlo, Lucey, Schwartz, Bolling, White et all were at the top of their games.
