Archie Comics Branching Out To Young Adult Novels
Archie Comics is jumping into the lucrative field of Young Adult novels this summer. They are kicking it off with Diary Of A Girl Next Door: Betty written by Tania del Rio.
The story follows Riverdale High freshman Betty Cooper, her time with her best friend Veronica, her crush on Archie and other high school dramas. The book is written in the first-person narrative style mimicking diary entries. There will also be sketches inside the book supposedly drawn by the main character.
del Rio described her take on Betty: "She sometimes takes herself a little too seriously, but it's her brilliant imagination and tenacity that helps her deal with all the craziness in her life, and that's what I love best about her character."
Written by del Rio, with art by Bill Galvan, Bob Smith & Jack Morelli, Diary Of A Girl Next Door: Betty goes on sale July 16th!
