Archie: The Best of Dan Decarlo 1

Archie: The Best of Dan Decarlo 1 by Various. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781600106545.

Dan DeCarlo was the dean of Archie artists. Aside from Bob Montana, no single artist is more associated with the teenagers of Riverdale High. Beginning his career at Archie in the mid 1950s, DeCarlo soon became the main artist on Betty and Veronica, and drew every character at one time or another in his nearly 50-year career with Archie. Dan DeCarlo was also the first artist ever to draw Josie and Sabrina, establishing the visual looks of these two long-running and fondly remembered characters. Reproduced from the original art to ensure the highest possible quality reproduction, the stories in this collection are from what is generally regarded as one of DeCarlos best periods - the mid 1950s to the early 1970s. Each story was handpicked by DeCarlo connoisseurs and has been re-colored to match the flavor of how it was originally published.
