Archie Comics had such success with their “Archie Marries…” storyline in Archie #600 – 606 that they decided to continue the stories in an ongoing series. Michael Uslan (comic book fan/historian/writer and producer of the Batman film franchise, among others), who originated the idea and wrote the miniseries, was unable to stay on as writer due to time considerations, and, with only a handful of short stories for the regular Archie titles under my belt, editor-in-chief Victor Gorelick tapped me to write the new series (after the first stories were written by Uslan).
Now, according to the story on CBR: “:With the storyline generating renewed interest in the Riverdale brand around the world, Archie Comics recently announced a new magazine containing two brand new storylines launching in July: The Married Life: Archie Loves Betty and The Married Life: Archie Loves Veronica.” Michael wrote a series bible for the first six issues, and, even as we speak, I’ve begun working out the story beats for issues #7-12.
CBR posts a few pages of Norm Breyfogle’s pencils from the first chapter of the Veronica story; old friends and colleagues Josef Rubinstein (Archie Loves Betty) and Andrew Pepoy (Archie Loves Veronica) ink Norm’s beautiful work.
Life With Archie: The Married Life #1 is on sale in comic shops July 28, 2010 (August 10 on newsstands). My “first” issue, #2, appears in late August).
Oh, sugar! Honey, honey…
