Riverdale offers up escape from a world in turmoil in this third collection of classic Archie newspaper strips.
Archie Comics recently made headline news when Americas Typical Teenagermet an untimely end in theLife with Archiecomic.
In that title, Archie took a bullet meant for his gay Senate candidate pal, Kevin Keller.
These comics served their purpose twofold: not only did they entertain, but they distracted.
But the argument can be made that Montanas art is sleeker than DeCarlos.
What it lacks in voluptuousness it more than makes up for in expressiveness.
Indeed, the funniest strips featured here dont even include Archie and the gang.
And make no mistake about it, the work presented here is extremely funny.
Each subsequent Archie writer/illustrator has been presenting variations on the theme originally created by Montana.
They are as necessary today as they were when they were originally published.
