Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In 1941, Pep Comics introduced Archie Andrews, "American's newest boyfriend." Since then, Archie and his teenage friends have entertained young and old alike with the hilarious misadventures. Filled with outrageous tales of dating woes, high school hijinx, and slapstick mayhem, it wasn't long before Archie became known as "the Mirth of the Nation." Now, IDW Publishing combines both "Best of the Forties" Americana series books into one must-have collection!
"Originally published by Archie Comic Publications as 'Archie Ameriana Series Best of the Forties volumes 1 and 2"--Page [6].
