Lena Dunham's pop culture empire continues to dominate. Now, months before the relelase of her memoir, Not That Kind of Girl<\/em>, the Girls <\/em>star\/creator will be writing a four-part Archie <\/em>comics story.<\/p>\n

According to Comic Book Resources<\/em>, the Golden Globe winner was recruited by Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (yes, a former writer for Glee<\/em>) after Dunham publicly expressed her admiration for the series in a Q&A last year.<\/p>\n

"We sent her a box of tons of Archie<\/i> books," Aguirre-Sacasa explained. "She devoured them all, and maybe a week or two later came back with her pitch."<\/p>\n

However, that's where the plot details stop. Other than knowing the story is "set in the Archie<\/em> continuiy" and will be "very contemporary," nothing else has been released. (So let's just assume Archie will be the Adam, and Jughead will be the Ray.)<\/p>\n

"I was an avid Archie<\/em> collector as a child," Dunham said in a release. "Conventions, first editions that I kept in plastic sleeves, the whole shebang. It has so much cultural significance but also so much personal significance, and to get to play with these beloved characters is a wild creative opportunity."<\/p>\n

"Everyone at Archie<\/em> is thrilled Lena's coming aboard to write this story," Aguirre-Sacasa added. "Lena's take on the Archie<\/em> gang is going to be very funny and contemporary. It's a stunning fit, and I know fans will be excited to read it. I am!"<\/p>\n

The story comes out next year, just in time for you to have finished reading Dunham's book, which comes out this autumn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
