Little Archie #1 is considered to be "scarce" by the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide (only 20-100 copies exist).

Bob Bolling wrote and drew the comic strip, which introduced new plots and characters to the Archie legend by concentrating on the adventures of the gang during their early elementary-school days.

Miss Grundy and Mr. Weatherbee appear as a teacher and the principal at Riverdale Elementary School.

Renamed as "The New Little Archie", it featured the Little Archie characters with contemporary fashions, hairstyles, and sensibilities, and with a more modern-looking art style, yet giving the cartoonish look solely to kid characters (similar to Tiny Toon Adventures and A Pup Named Scooby-Doo) while leaving the adults in their standard designs.

Unlike the experience from the early 1990s, this received better attention as a picture book is currently in the markets.
