Recently Read: Archie: the Best of Harry Lucey, Vol. 1

 


This fine collection of stories (centering on the early '60s) drawn by the multi-talented Harry Lucey is a great addition to IDW's Best Of Archie cartoonists series. Lucey was a master of frenetic body language, particularly pratfalls and deep kisses resulting in legs and feet propelled high in the air.

One 1961 story, "Dog's Best Friend", plays with the medium in a meta way, with characters commenting on and pulling at word balloons. The stories are funny and the reproduction of the art impeccable. The volume is topped off with an introduction by cartoonist Jaime Hernandez and an afterward by Lucey co-worker Victor Gorelick

Recommended for a fun, carefree afternoon.
