Description

In the same vein as the critically acclaimed Archie: The Married Life series, Archie's Valentine should be a rousing success, combining the popularity of Josie and the Pussycats and the regular Archie cast of characters. This unique story is a charming exploration of what Archie's life would be like if he married Valerie from the Josie and the Pussycats rock band, featuring iconic storytelling and cartoon art of acclaimed writer/illustrator Dan Parent, creator of the wildly popular Kevin Keller.
