Archie Comics Retro Covers, Posters, and Wall Murals
I grew up with Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, Reggie and the whole Riverdale High gang. Archie comics were my favorite.
Back then (in the 60's), comic books were like little magazines and very popular. Any extra money I had went towards buying the Archie Comic books.
So, I was thrilled to see the new line of posters, retro covers, and wall murals available through All Posters.
On this page, I will refresh your memory of the Archie characters and provide links to Archie comics, apps, coloring pages, videos, posters, retro covers, wall murals, and more.

The Archie Poll
Did Archie ever Marry?
In May 2009, Archie Comics revealed in Issue #600 that Archie would marry Veronica. However, this was just a futuristic look at what would happen in that case. In issues 600-602, they look at Archie's life as if he had married Veronica. Then, in Issues 603-605, the story switches to what would have happened if he had married Betty.
Pretty funny!

- This is a first time for me as I never heard of Archie Comics, however, I find the drawings attractive, since I'm in love with the 50's designs!

- Fantastic lens and what a great idea for poster art. For every road trip as a kid, my parents would buy me a Double Digest to keep quiet. I can't thank them enough. Lensrolled.

- Ah -- what is called 'retro' today was the 'norm' in my day. Great trip down memory lane with Archie and the gang! My son-in-law is a comic book artist (mostly science fiction/fantasy), but he knows about every comic book artist there ever was and has many 'old' comics in his collection. I'll have to ask him what he knows about 'Archie' as his knowledge in the comic book world is extensive. :)-
