EXCLUSIVE! Plus, Bob Phantom and Black Jack return for Christmas… Archie Comics’ Facsimile Edition for October is the offbeat Archie’s Madhouse #1 from 1959, designed to draft off the popularity of Mad Magazine, using the Riverdale gang for all sorts of goofy gags and satires. Plus, the publisher will release two Christmas issues, one featuring two new classic-style stories — including one starring MLJ faves Bob Phantom and Black Jack — and the other the latest digest. Dig the solicitation info, which will be formally released by Archie later this week: ARCHIE’S MADHOUSE #1: FACSIMILE EDITION In 1959, things went a little off the wall in Riverdale! Archie Comics introduced the new series ARCHIE’S MADHOUSE, which saw Archie and all his friends in wacky, nonsensical short adventures! Similar to the popular MAD Magazine, ARCHIE’S MADHOUSE focused on oddball and satirical stories to start, and would later feature monsters, space stories, and other wacky short stories, and eventually the debut of Sabrina the Teenage Witch! But we’re celebrating the issue that started it all—issue #1! Journey back to ’67 (don’t say it!), for a wild ride packed with puns, dipsy doodles, nursery rhymes with a Riverdale twist, and tons more of hilarious entertainment! Go mad with Archie and the gang in ARCHIE’S MADHOUSE #1, faithfully reprinted in a full-facsimile edition!
