In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Comic-Con India and the popular American Archie comics have come together to create an original story for fans of Comic Con. Titled ‘Archie in the Incredible Comic Con India‘, the book will have the whole gang indulge in some fun-filled adventures at Comic Con India. From cosplay to comics, and selfies to merchandise shopping, Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Betty, and Veronica will soak in the complete experience.
Set in contemporary times, the book has been created by a team at Comic Con India, along with leading artists and writers from the house of Archie Comics — Dan Parent (Cover), Bill Golliher (Script and Comic Art), Jack Morelli (Lettering) and Glenn Whitmore (Colour).
“The launch of this limited edition comic book intends to reignite the ‘American dreams’ of Indian pop culture enthusiasts. The book will be something that audiences would love to possess for a very long time. It is an earnest effort by Comic Con India to give back to its fans for all the love and support they have been showing for more than a decade to India’s greatest pop culture experience. This is also the 80th year of Archie Comics, making it the perfect opportunity to celebrate the series that has been loved by generations in India — and is still hugely popular,” Comic Con India Founder Jatin Varma said about the association.
