ARCHIE: VARSITY EDITION VOL. 1 is the premium, hardcover collection of the best-selling ARCHIE series by Mark Waid. Featuring artists such as Fiona Staples, Veronica Fish, Annie Wu and more, this title collects the first two volumes of the series that has kept the comic book world talking for years.

ARCHIE, one of the longest-running titles in comic book history, is rebooted here in this full-color collection that brings together several of the top creators in comics. Together they create a surprising and definitive take on the origin of Archie's historic love triangle with Betty and Veronica - a story that has never been told. The book captures the bite and hilarious edge of Archie's original tales in a modern, forward-looking manner, while still retaining the character's all-ages appeal.
MARK WAID is an Eisner Award-winning American comic book writer. He is well known for his eight-year run as writer of the DC Comics' title THE FLASH, as well as his scripting of the limited series KINGDOM COME and SUPERMAN: BIRTHRIGHT, and his work on Marvel Comics' CAPTAIN AMERICA.

He has received recent acclaim for his work on the DAREDEVIL and ALL-NEW AVENGERS series for Marvel.
