Following his fact-finding mission to Riverdale in Archie's "Campaign Pains" storyline running through issues #616-617, U.S. President Barack Obama will make additional appearances in Life With Archie #7, although not in the narrative sense. On sale February 8, the issue is specially Obama-themed, whereby all the supplemental features pertain to the American President. Among them, a breakdown of Obama's platforms from the point of view of the Archie characters and a First Lady fashion feature courtesy of Betty and Veronica.

Courtesy of our friends at Archie Comics, ComicsAlliance brings you an exclusive first look at those special Obama features from Life With Archie #7, along with ten pages of story by such great comics veterans as Paul Kupperberg, Norm Breyfogle, Joe Rubinstein, Jack Morelli, Glenn Whitmore, Tito Pena, J. Torres, Rick Burchett, Terry Austin and John Workman. Check 'em out after the jump.
