IT'S THE MILESTONE 600th ISSUE AND WE'RE SERVING UP THE ARCHIE STORY OF THE CENTURY AS ARCHIE MARRIES VERONICA!!!
"Archie Marries Veronica Part 1: The Proposal": Could it be true? Has Archie finally decided to take the plunge and propose to comics' favorite rich girl? It sure looks that way! Earlier this year readers got a chance to relive "Freshman Year" with the famous teens of Riverdale High. Now make way for this special story that takes a look at Archie and his friends after they graduate college! What careers will they seek? Will the friends stay in Riverdale or disperse? What would lead Archie to have marriage on his mind? And why would he choose Veronica over Betty? How will Betty react? Can Archie shake off his klutzy past and hold down a steady job... for more than a month? Two things are certain: with the Lodges as hosts, this will be the biggest wedding Riverdale has ever seen... and the biggest Archie Comics story since the famous "Love Showdown!" Acclaimed superhero movie producer Michael Uslan draws upon his lifelong love of Archie comic books to write this very special tale, rendered by legendary Archie Comics artist Stan Goldberg! The Archie story of the century begins here... don't miss it!

The Archies have touched down in the Big Apple for a gig in Central Park. Of course, when in the big city be sure to partake of the big sights... and partake the group does! From the Plaza Royal Hotel to the swank shops at Central Park West and the world famous Tavern on the Green, the band makes the most of their stay. They even meet famous New York "celebrities" like late night talk show host David Betterman, gossip columnist Liz Smythe and real estate mogul Donald Stump! Best of all, their concert benefits the New York Homeless Shelter! Archie, rock 'n' roll and the greatest city on earth – has there ever been a more perfect combination? It's all brought to you by no less a pop music authority than Hal Lifson, author of the swingin' sixties coffee table tome, "Hal Lifson's 1966!"
