In the tradition of the ever-popular ARCHIE AMERICANA SERIES, Archie Comics is proud to present Hollywood's favorite new rock band in a tune-filled trade paperback volume that gets to the heart of the band's comic book roots!

Frank Doyle (November 17, 1917 - April 3, 1996) was the head writer for Archie Comics for over thirty years. He wrote over 10,000 stories featuring the Archie characters. Artist Dan DeCarlo referred to Doyle as "the best". In 1951 he joined Archie Comics as a writer. Doyle wrot the majority of stories for such important Archie titles as "Archie" and "Betty and Veronica" and also began writing many of the stories for adventure-themed titles. According to DeCarlo, Doyle did "all the writing" for the early issues of She's Josie. Doyle wrote the first issue of the Archie title "That Wilkin Boy" and wrote the debut stories for several Archie supporting characters, including the first appearance of Cheryl Blossom.
