ARCHIE IN HELL #1 Enters The Demonic Circle with New “Pyre Satanic” Variant – Coming November 4th!: "Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to reveal the “Pyre Satanic” variant cover for ARCHIE IN HELL #1 beautifully illustrated by Chloe Brailsford (Lobo, The Deadman) – a startling new addition to the launch of the infernal new ongoing series from multiple Eisner Award nominee Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) and Russ Manning Award winner Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz, Harrow County) debuting in stores on November 4th!
The special, open-order variant cover matches the two other recently revealed “Pyre Satanic” covers by Brailsford, forming an unholy trinity with ARCHIE #1 and SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH #1. FOC for the “Pyre Satanic” variant cover is on Final Order Cut-Off (FOC) on September 28th with an on-sale date of November 4th, alongside with all other previously announced covers for ARCHIE IN HELL #1.
They say that every small town has a secret. Well, in the case of Riverdale, it’s one heck of a humdinger: An ancient order of cultists has infiltrated its townspeople, bent on using human sacrifice to usher a demon lord into our mortal plane. And they’ve finally identified the final target they need to bring a century’s worth of planning to fruition: hometown football champion and all-around good guy Archie Andrews. But this secret cabal never dreamed that actual witches walk Riverdale’s streets . . . and when cult and coven clash in the final stages of Archie’s secret-ritual sacrifice, the consequences will be cosmic . . . and young Archie Andrews will find himself damned to something far worse than Hell’s inner circle.
Unstuck from time and space. Bound to a terrible curse. Late for school. Things are about to go from bad to downright diabolical as Horvath and Crook unleash the most malevolently merciless Archie Comics tale ever told . . . and, truly, you’ll never, ever expect what happens next."
