Archie Comics continues its year-long 75th anniversary celebration with the upcoming premiere of a new, hour-long live-action drama series, ‘Riverdale’ on The CW in early 2017 from executive producers Greg Berlanti, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater; and the continued overwhelming success of the company’s “New Riverdale” line of titles, which include revitalized takes on the core Archie characters by the top talents in the industry.

Two key launches will take center stage for the publisher at NYCC this year, starting with the punk rock reunion fans never saw coming: ARCHIE MEETS RAMONES #1. Hitting comic shops and digital retailers on the eve of the show, Wednesday, October 5th, and featuring the work of the all-star creative team of co-writers Alex Segura (ARCHIE MEETS KISS), Matthew Rosenberg (4 Kids Walk into a Bank) and artist Gisele Lagace (“Occupy Riverdale”), the special one-shot transports Archie and friends back to New York City in 1976 – and face to face with Joey, Tommy, Johnny, and Dee Dee of the Ramones.

The star-studded festival line-up of musical powerhouses also includes a relaunched JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS series from co-writers Marguerite Bennett and Cameron DeOrdio, featuring the stellar art of rising star Audrey Mok. The first issue of the must-read series kicks off with Josie getting the band together to help achieve her dreams of musical stardom – and learning about friendship and trust along the way.
