Archie Americana Series: Best of the Fifties, Vol. 1 by Harry Lucey, Paul Castiglia, Victor Gorelick, Dan DeCarlo, Samm Schwartz, Bob Montana

3.0

I love Archie Comics, and I grew up reading the digests from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Many of the comics in this collection are quite funny, but they don't have the same relevance to me as the ones from later decades. Still, although the characters from the Fifties are more tame than the ones from later years, they still manage to get into many entertaining scrapes. This collection is fun, escapist reading for fans of Archie who want to see how the art and characters changed (and didn't change) throughout the decades.
