I love these 1000-page digests published by Archie Comics. Basically, the company takes a catalogue of what amounts to 80 years of history, repackages, and reprints on high quality thicker, glossy stock paper disparate stories to fill a massive trade paperback. Overall, the anthology is humorous with a very good mix of newer to older stories.
To give you an accurate idea of the creative talents which have collaborated with Archie over the many years, I offer a comprehensive, though not exhaustive list. Some of the writers and artists credited are Frank Doyle, Chic Stone, Harry Lucey, Alex Simmons, George Gladir, Stan Goldberg, Sam Schwartz, Dan Parent, Mike Esposito, Bill Yoshida, Jack Morelli, Rudy Lapick, Al Milgrom, Fernando Ruiz, Dan DeCarlo, Carlos Antunes, Kathleen Webb, and really way too many to mention.
The reader is treated to the stories and vicissitudes of the usual characters: Archie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead, Reggie, Sabrina, Moose, Josie and the rest of the gang, along with the adults, parents, and teachers that take part in the lives of these individuals. Some flow organically while others are part of on-going features such as Digest Fashions where readers are invited to send drawings of Betty and Veronica in original couture creations.
There are puzzles and mazes included as well as one-page, half-page quick jab jokes, various pin-ups and even two fifty-page excerpts called "From the Vault." The vault stories are actually stories from the 1940s, before Archie's inimitable look became iconic. There are two big sections fully 50-page clusters highlighting the classic work.
Overall, this was a fun collection that was full of laughs and nostalgia. Well-worth the price of admission. It receives my highest recommendation.

Used to read Archie Betty and Veronica when I was little. I still like it a lot but I still don't get why he always goes for Veronica and why Betty still wants him. Maybe it has to do with a small town and stupid and immature school years :p

The quality of the stories in this collection is uneven. There are some worth reading and some that are filler. For the price, you get a lot for your money though.

Archie 1000 page comic celebration
Excellent, good length and the stories were not ones that I had read before. Wish I could find another like it.

For the nostalgia.

These bigger editions crease really badly and mines cover was very flimsy which lead to it getting ripped. Good if you only want to read and not collect I will say.

Excellent value for the nostalgia as usual.

This was a lot of Archie. If you have any idea what Archie comics are like, this was like that, but a lot of it. It's an oddly put together collection in that it skips randomly around in years and it includes (accidentally I assume since it calls no attention to it) a story and then a later story where the writer clearly cribbed from the earlier one. But it's all just basically fine.

It was good. A classic big comic book of Archie and the gang. I liked it a lot. My father got it for Christmas from my mother and I just finished it tonight.(New Years Eve of 2014)
