The Man From R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E.

I recently was afforded the opportunity to write portions of the recent coffee table history of Archie Comics entitled--ARCHIE: A CELEBRATION OF AMERICA'S FAVORITE TEENAGERS. Around 1968, I was originally introduced to Archie Comics via some back issues of LIFE WITH ARCHIE my cousin had from 1966 featuring the red-headed eternal teen as "The Man From R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E." Not every issue highlighted the spy theme that year but most--all seen here--did. A few months into 1967, the title returned to more typical teenage antics.
