Betty and Veronica (along with Archie, Jughead and the rest of the gang) take on your favorite childhood fairy tales! You’ll want to stay up late reading "Sleeping Betty" and "A Tale of Two Cinderellas" will have you seeing double! Go on an adventure with "Betty in Wonderland" and take a trip to see the Wizard in "There’s No Place Like Riverdale"! Storybook is chock-full of adventure, interesting characters and comedy—in a way that only your favorite Riverdale girls can provide!
"The stories are light and breezy, and full of that special magic that makes them undeniably Archie." --Examiner.com
"In this handsome collection of reprints, Dan Parent renders Riverdale versions of "Alice in Wonderland," "Sleeping Beauty," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Cinderella." These amusing adaptations are true to the original stories, while having their own unique twists, such as Cinderbetty and Cinderonica driving themselves to the ball in "eco-friendly smartie cars" and Betty attending the Wonderland Mad Barbeque. Parent's art is bright and attractive and features some fun visuals. Readers as young as six and seven enjoy these stories for their mix of familiarity and humor. For older readers, the introductory notes for each story, Parent's afterword, and the sketchbook pages give background information and insight into the creative process." --ComicsBulletin.com
Charming and clever, these tales are a marvellous example of why Archie has been unsurpassed in this genre; providing decades of family friendly fun and wholesome teen entertainment. Moreover, aspiring creators will also delight in the closing Sketch Book section of this collection which provides a fascinating glimpse of Parent’s original pencilled art in 9 pages culled from the preceding stories. --ComicsReview.co.uk
