Reggie and Me

Reggie and Me by Archie Superstars
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reggie and Me is a collection of thirty six tales starring the biggest asshole in Riverdale, Reggie Mantle.

I bought this during one of the many sales the Archie website has done during this pandemic. It collects the best tales from Reggie and Me #20-73.

Reggie is the biggest dickhead in the Archie cast and most of these tales end with his schemes biting him in the ass, which is quite satisfying. George Gladir and Al Hartley provide the bulk of the stories but there are a few other writers. Reggie puts poor Archie through the wringer, including the time Veronica asks Archie to drive them home while Reggie and Veronica make out in the back seat.

The artist list is a who's who of Archie heavy hitters from 1962-1974: Bill Vigoda, Al Hartley, Stan Goldberg, Harry Lucey, Bob Bolling, etc. There is a total lack of Dan DeCarlo in this but it's still a solid book as far as art goes. I have to say Al Hartley does the best Reggie in this, both in writing and in art.

Reggie and Me is a fun collection of Riverdale's premiere shitheel repeatedly getting his much deserved comeuppance. 4 out of 5 stars.
