''Afterlife with Archie'' is a comic book published by Archie Comics beginning in 2013, depicting an zombie apocalypse which begins in the town of Riverdale in an alternative reality. It is written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa,〔(‘Afterlife With Archie’: The Walking Jughead?

Issue #8 was the first to feature the company's Archie Horror logo. The Archie Horror imprint also publishes a companion series titled ''Chilling Adventures of Sabrina''. The two titles share several characters, but they are not directly related to each other. ==Story Arcs== ;Volume 1: Escape From Riverdale (Issues 1 - 5) After a car driven by Reggie kills Hot Dog, Jughead asks Sabrina to bring his beloved pet back to life.
