AS if Lena Dunham's not busy enough writing, directing, producing and starring in her hit TV show Girls.
Now she's being tapped to write a four-part story for the iconic Archie comic series.
According to Comic Book Resources, Dunham was asked to write for Archie series by Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, after she spoke of her love of the evergreen series in a Q&A with J.J. Abrams and novelist Doug Dorst in New York last November.
"We sent her a box of tons of Archie books," Aguirre-Sacasa said.
"She devoured them all, and maybe a week or two later came back with her pitch."
While Aguirre-Sacasa wouldn't share any details for the unnamed story, he said that the 2015 comic series would be "very contemporary".
"It's a classic Archie story," he said, "with a definitely unique, Lena spin."
"She brings a unique point-of-view to all these characters, but she also loves them, and knows what makes them work," Aguirre-Sacasa said.

"It's really good stuff, and obviously it's going to be a huge deal for Archie."
"To have someone like that say, 'Not only am I a fan, I'd love to write something,' it just epitomises all the hard work we've put in for the last five years," added co-COO Jon Goldwater.
Dunham isn't the first on-screen wunderkind to make a foray into comics - writer/director/actor Kevin Smith has written multiple titles, including high-profile stints on Daredevil and Green Arrow in the late '90s and early 2000s.
Meanwhile, Dunham has her hands full on-screen; the third season of Girls is currently airing (she's about to start writing the fourth season), while she's set to host Saturday Night Live this weekend in New York.
