Dan DeCarlo's Archie and Friends Artist's Edition

See Archie, Betty, Veronica, and the whole Riverside gang as you never have before!

Dan DeCarlo was the preeminent artist of Archie from the 1950s to the 1990s. And while DeCarlo was not the first to illustrate America’s favorite teenager, he is certainly the artist most associated with him!
 
This book, like all Artist’s Editions, will present DeCarlo’s work as it has never been printed before—with each page scanned from the original artwork and presented in the actual size it was drawn. And while the art appears to be in black and white, each image is actually shot in color, allowing the reader to see all the subtle nuances and details that make original art so special—gradients in the inks, corrections, blue pencil notations, and so much more.
 
This book will be crammed full of complete stories, covers and pin-ups, from what many consider to be DeCarlo’s finest period, the mid 1960s to early 1980s. And while there will be lots of Betty and Veronica, we’ve also managed to track down some gorgeous examples of Josie and Sabrina as well. If you are a fan of Archie and Dan DeCarlo, then this is the book for you. The only way to better view these rare gems is if you were looking over Dan DeCarlo's shoulder as he toiled at his drawing board!
