Archie’s Coloring Book
By: Archie Superstars
Rating: 5 of 5
This is a fun coloring book based on The Archie’s comic book series along with a number of spin-offs from over the years. When I was a little girl, I enjoyed reading about the adventures of Archie, Betty, Veronica and, of course, Jughead. They all have their spots in the book along with Josie and the Pussycats, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Cheryl Blossom and the Little Archie characters.
The designs look straight from the comic book series and are well done for coloring. There is a use of pre-colored black (for Veronica’s hair for instance) that may trouble some but were fine for me.
The coloring book is printed on both sides and some of the designs merge into the binding. The pages are perforated and some of the design elements will get lost if you remove a page from the book. The inside of the front and back covers are printed with line drawings but have a slightly glossy finish which can interfere with coloring.
The designs are all detailed and a few, especially those with smaller comic strip scenes, contain smaller and more intricate areas to color.
The publishers of this book have a Christmas Archie book coming out shortly which I think may be fun as well. I’ll definitely be looking for it as well.
