Description

Not since the death of Superman has a cartoon characters demise gained such global attention. This full-colour edition collects the final volumes of the Life With Archie series in an accessible format for those new to the story. Riverdale is a vale of tears as the residents gather one year after Archies tragic death for a remembrance ceremony. In the town where everyone smiles and the chocolate malt is always delicious, an un-fillable gap has appeared. This is their chance to celebrate a true American hero. This is quite simply comic book history in the making.
