New York, NY -- April 3, 2013 – Archie Comics is proud to announce that ARCHIE #641 has sold out! The ARCHIE MEETS GLEE crossover is a four-part story featuring the Archie gang crossing paths with the stars of the hit FOX TV series. Both the regular and variant covers proved equally popular, selling out simultaneously.
The issue has become a media sensation, receiving widespread coverage from THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, CBS NEWS, ABC NEWS, THE HUFFINGTON POST, THE NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, MTV, WASHINGTON POST, BUZZFEED, PEREZHILTON.com, and more.
Archie Comics would like to thank its loyal fans, the supportive retailers who jumped on board, Glee creator Ryan Murphy and FOX studios for giving the project its blessing, the dream team of writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Dan Parent for bringing their “A” game, and the rest of Team Archie for making this a tremendous success.
Archie superstar Parent continues to write and illustrate the GLAAD Media Awards nominated series Kevin Keller while writer/producer Aguirre-Sacasa (Glee, Carrie 2013 remake) will launch the highly publicized zombie series Afterlife with Archie this October, recently announced in DEADLINE.
The crossover is only just getting warmed up as Archie Meets Glee Part Two is on sale now at your local comic shop with two more parts to follow. Now is the perfect time to jump on board and watch as the worlds of The Archies and The New Directions continue to collide in the most anticipated comic book crossover of the 2013.
