Archie Annual was a series featuring stories with Archie. After the huge success of his solo comic, the publisher thought a yearly special edition was in order, and they were right. The issues had 115 pages or more, featuring Archie and his friends in over 14 stories per book. That series was a huge success as well and the issues kept coming out for 26 years until the publisher decided to continue with other Archie comics and stories with a more regular release rate. After the Archie Annual ended, some of the writers returned to the original comic, which ran until 2015, after releasing 666 issues.
