This November, the inferno begins in Archie in Hell #1. In another time, in another Riverdale, Archie Andrews’ radiant life is about to turn pitch black.

The next smash hit in Archie’s wildly successful horror line is where Horvath and Crook (forge a brand-new legend of Archie horror, leaving a blood-stained trail from 1690 to the present day.

Then in December’s second issue, torn from the world he once knew and thrown back to a dark reflection of the year 1690, Archie Andrews has taken cover as “Archibald” Andrews—a humble inhabitant of the bleak and zealous Puritan community called Riverdale.

Strange and unearthly occurrences plague this small countryside hovel, and, as the search for the collaborators of the devil’s business begins, Archie won’t be able to hide for long— especially not with that flaming red hair! But when strange echoes of his best friends from the modern day—Elizabeth “Betty” Cooper, Berenice “Veronica” Lodge, and Forsythe “Jughead” Jones—begin to emerge, Archie will quickly come to fear that while he may have been the demon A’ldarax’s first sacrifice, he may not be its last . . .
