Archie Comics Heads to Digital Libraries

Under the deal, Hoopla will add titles from Archie Comics’ three imprints, including the revamped “Archie” and “Jughead,” titles based on video games like “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Mega Man” and Archie’s Dark Circle comics. The digital platform will also add the “Betty and Veronica” re-launch following the debut of the first issue this summer.

“I’ve said from the beginning–our goal is for Archie to be everywhere, accessible to all fans looking to visit Riverdale, says Jon Goldwater, publisher and chief executive officer, Archie Comics. “Teaming with the great group at Hoopla Digital moves us another step closer to that. Libraries are hugely important to Archie, and I’m excited that library readers will be able to find so many excellent titles via Hoopla Digital, from our traditional stories to the more recent, acclaimed
