Publisher Description. Oni Press and Archie Comic Publications, Inc. are excited to announce that the all-new Archie #1 – the star-studded first issue of 2026’s milestone publishing initiative – is getting even bigger with an earnestly extra-sized, 40-page debut issue on September 2. Plus: Oni Press has unveiled one more surprise – a never-before-seen, FOC Reveal Variant for Archie #1 by Travis Charest (X-Men/WildC.A.T.s: The Golden Age), featuring the artist’s first-ever rendition of the Riverdale gang.
Beginning with the momentous first chapter of the joyous new ongoing series by Edgar Award and Ben H. Winters (EC’s Cruel Universe, Benjamin) with art by artist Fábio Moon (Daytripper, Casanova), Archie #1 will also feature a bounty of exciting extras, including puzzles, pin-ups, and more… alongside newly added looks ahead at the Archie line’s next, much-anticipated debuts: October’s Sabrina The Teenage Witch #1 by Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One) and Kano (Daredevil); and Archie In Hell #1 by Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) and Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz, Harrow County).
For his entire life, 17-year-old Archie Andrews has had it all: adoring friends, football glory, and a natural charm that always seems to make him the center of attention. Now, through his eyes, experience the warmth and wonder of Riverdale and its near-infinite roster of residents – the popular kids, the endearing oddballs, and everyone in between – as Archie embarks on a whirlwind, all-star adventure through his town’s past, present, and future… beginning with a local film festival that’s about to turn everything upside down! And, at the center of it all, lies an enigmatic paradox that only Archie’s pal Jughead Jones can possibly unravel… Plus: Puzzles! Pin-ups! And a veritable sweet shop of surprises that all link to the same inextricable mystery… Finally, your antidote for postmodern malaise has arrived. Welcome to the all-new Archie #1!
