Archie Reveals Retailer-Exclusive 'Archie' #1 Variant Covers

The impending relaunch of Archie is almost upon us, and that can mean only one thing: variant covers, including retailer exclusives from some of the country's most prominent comic shops. Yes, when Mark Waid and Fiona Staples kick off their new take on Riverdale's favorite son next month, their story will be wrapped up in not one, not two, but seventeen different covers, each one made for a specific store.

But if you don't happen to live near Midtown, Acme, Mile High or any of the other retailers who jumped on the opportunity, don't worry. You can still see all the retailer variants, including covers by Cameron Stewart, Tom Grummett, Rafael Albuquerque and more below!

If there's a particular cover that caught your eye, most of the participating retailers have online stores where you may be able to purchase it. Keep in mind, though, that retailer exclusives are by their nature, well, exclusive, and very limited in numbers, and that retailers set their own prices for the variants.

Archie #1 will be released on July 8.
