Author Talk: Road Trip To Riverside from Archie Comics Online

Nancy Silberkleit, Co-CEO of Archie Comics, shares some of the secret sauce on how the Riverdale Series has evolved from Archie Comics and why it has much of the same DNA.  She will share some insight into being a publisher of Comics, and how she uses comics to further her passion for the environment and anti-bullying.  Another cause Nancy is passionate about is Autism and she will give a peek into a new character she developed that has Autism and attends Riverdale High with Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead. 

Nancy Silberkleit is the Co-CEO of Archie Comics. She stepped into the role in 2009 with a vision that comic books are a valuable tool for developing literacy and instilling a love of reading. As a former public school educator, Nancy taught art for 20 years and has observed the power of comics to encourage literacy and creativity in children. She also uses comic books as a vehicle to help young people talk about difficult issues like diversity and inclusion, bullying, the environment, autism, and more.
