Jamal Igle variant on “Life with Archie” #26

“Life With Archie” #26, which features the tales of Archie in the future married to Betty or Veronica, features a variant cover by Jamal Igle.  Igle, currently working on the creator-owned “Molly Danger,” is possibly best-known for his work on “Supergirl” with Tulsa native and University of Oklahoma graduate Sterling Gates.

The variant cover features the superheroic alter-egos of the Archie comics teenagers: Archie as Pureheart the Powerful, Betty as Superteen, Jughead as Captain Hero, and Reggie as Evilheart.

Archie first appeared as “Pureheart the Powerful” in a previous volume of “Life with Archie,” in 1965′s issue #42.

Here’s how Archie describes “Life With Archie” #26:

“Archie Marries Veronica” – Archie settles in as president of Mirth Records but is soon disillusioned when he discovers that the “talent” may not be so talented after all. Recovering from his gunshot wound, Clay discovers what it’s like to be on the other side of physical therapy. Meanwhile, Reggie is given a choice by his reality show producer: up the drama with fake fighting between him and Betty or face cancellation. How will Betty take this?
