Welcome to Riverdale! Join the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art - MoCCA in celebrating the world of Archie Comics, one of the oldest and most beloved family-friendly brands in the comic book industry. Thrill to the exploits of Archie Andrews and his friends, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie and the rest. And don't be surprised if you see a cameo from Josie and the Pussycats, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and some of Archie Comics' other supporting players. This exhibition features pages and pages of rare and unpublished comic art, animated cartoons, gold record winning music, as well as vintage house ads, news clippings, custom collectibles, toys and other merchandise from Archie's 65 plus years as America's eternal teenager.

The Art of Archie Comics is curated by Alex Simmons, Ellen S. Abramowitz, Arie Kaplan and Jeff Trexler.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council. Additional support comes from Archie Comics and the members of MoCCA.
