If you’re still not quite sure, here are some options to help you get started: With that in mind, you can pretty much start anywhere with Archie from the companies 75+ year history and find enjoyable reads. You’ll get to know the characters pretty quickly and learn the character-based gags – like Jughead’s bottomless stomach or that Reggie is a jerk – pretty quickly. The great thing about Traditional Archie is that the stories are all self-contained and usually require no prior knowledge. Pick a comic based on the kinds of stories that your interested in and you can’t go wrong. Something like Jughead leans into the character quirks such as his laziness and food obsession heavily, while Sabrina is more about magical misadventures.
