The World of Archie Comics Archive

The World of Archie Comics Archive is a digitized archive of the runs of more than 100 titles published by Archie Comics. Highlights include Archie (the flagship title), Sabrina: The Teenage Witch, Josie and the Pussycats, Betty & Veronica, and Jughead. It also includes some of the earliest superhero comic series originally published in the 1940's and 1950's, such as Blue Ribbon Comics, Top-Notch Comics, and Zip Comics. Many of the comics in this collection were written for teenagers, so this collection also provides a perspective on the rise of youth culture in the United States.

Alexander Street has attempted to include very issue of each comic from issue 1 through end of publication or 2020 (whichever is sooner), and each issue has been fully digitized from cover to cover. However, due to the rarity of this material, however, there are some missing issues and pages. 

Please note that some digitized items may contain views, imagery, or terminology considered to be inaccurate, biased, or offensive. This collection may be cross-searched with other primary source collections in ProQuest One Entertainment & Popular Culture (Alexander Street).
