"Archie Comics is now 85 years old, and for the past decade they’ve been blazing a different path than they did for the other 75, targeting a more adult audience with sophisticated dialogue and and realistically proportioned characters. This reporter has never been a fan of that stuff and prefers the classic, corny DeCarlo House Style he grew up with. This new stuff just looks like everything else on the comic book store rack.
But there’s an Archie comic coming this summer that returns to the all-ages format, at least for one issue. Not only that, the one-shot is written by award-winning comic book scribe Tom King. It’s called “Archie: The Decision” and we’ll get to why it’s called that in a moment.
“As a massive Archie fan, this is just a pure joy project for me,” King said to the website Polygon, who broke the story. “I wanted to do something zany and cool and screwball and hysterical and gorgeous and harebrained and maybe a little tiny itty-bitty bit profound as a tribute to my Golden and Silver Age Archie heroes — people like Dan DeCarlo, Harry Lucey, Bob Bolling, Bob Montana, and Samm Schwartz.” (This isn’t an empty fluff quote; those guys rocked.)"
