Another Side Of Riverdale
Jill Thompson's take on Jughead and Betty. What makes the cast of Archie such appealing subjects for comic book artists? Fond memories from childhood? The simplicity of the well established archetypes? Maybe Archie and the gang are just really fun to draw.

What happens when artists with uniquely recognizable styles draw the Riverdale gang? Awesome happens. Here's a small collection of some alternative takes on Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead. An adorable Hero Initiative sketch cover by Agnes Garbowska . A very young Lucy Knisley's own Archie comic ( at 8 or 9 and already a "cynical cartoonist" ). Not only does this crossover make perfect sense, but it's great to see Art Baltazar draw Robin dancing to Josie and the Pussycats. Aviv Itzcovitz's version of a classic Jughead cover, as seen on the blog Covered
