Now collected for the first time in a new series of oversized hardcover omnibuses, experience the complete, decades-spanning chronicle of Archie Andrews’s parallel lives and divergent futures in the groundbreaking saga that Comics Alliance calls “the most fascinating Archie comic of all time”!
When Archie goes for an afternoon stroll down Riverdale's most magical side street—Memory Lane—only to find himself turned around and facing the future, America's favorite teenager will be given the ultimate chance to examine two diverging roads yet to be traveled . . . and, with them, a tantalizing glimpse of his own possible fates. Down the first fork: Life as the husband of sultry socialite Veronica Lodge. Down the second: Marriage to the good girl next door, Betty Cooper. How could the most personal and painful choice of Archie’s entire existence impact not just Riverdale . . . but the world and the future of everyone in it? The future is coming, Archie Andrews . . . and it’s not what you think!
Told across two intricately interwoven timelines, experience the ultimate experiment in comics storytelling as The Married Life epic begins its pulse-pounding, heartbreaking, expectation-defying journey. Crafted by legendary writers Michael E. Uslan (The Boy Who Loved Batman) and Paul Kupperberg (Action Comics) and illustrated by masterful artists Stan Goldberg (Archie), Norm Breyfogle (Batman), Fernando Ruiz (Archie), and more, discover the opening act of Archie’s lives not yet lived in this definitive edition, packed with behind-the-scenes material, complete with new cover art from Archie Comics legend Dan Parent.
