A touring exhibit of Archie Comics memorabilia is currently on display in the Burchell Children’s Room at the Larchmont Public Library. The “Archie Gang” was the original creation of cartoonist Bob Montana, who based his characters on his high school classmates. The characters include Archie as well as Betty, Veronica, and Jughead.
The collection on display is owned by Nancy Silberkleit, who took over as CEO of Archie Comic Publications in 2008 following the death of her husband, Michael, whose family owned the business since 1940s.
The exhibit includes licensed products related to Archie and his gang, including pins, perfume, a key chain, a puzzle, a baseball cap, a Veronica doll, and other novelty items. Many are one-of-a-kind items and quite rare.
The exhibit is on view throughout February during normal library hours and is free.
