This is my first post here as I made reddit to ask this. But I need to know.

I'm trying to find a specific archie comic from anywhere before 2006.

One of the only things I remember in it is it definitely had veronica get stranded on an island, and some strange guy who was obviously stuck there much longer saves her, then Veronica's cruise comes back or something. The second thing is that it may have also had a Sonic comic inside it.

It would be really nice for someone to identify it, I don't remember what the cover looked like but I know it was given to me before 2006.

I have been searching for a high school Archie book I remember I which to my surprise had fangs fogarty in the high school. He is bullying Dilton one day when Moose comes by and Moose threatens to thrash him over it.

I can't remember how the rest of the story went, but everyone tells me they do not ever remember fangs in high school Archie books...

Anyone else remember this?

So I just have a look at it. Five issues are coming out, total:

1/8: Archie Digest #357 - 1 new classic-style 5-page story

1/15: Archie is Mr. Justice #2: part of an "Archie Premium Event" miniseries; 20 pages; priced at $4.99

1/15: Betty and Veronica Digest #331 - 1 new classic-style 5-page story

1/22: World of Archie Digest #147 - billed as a Valentine's celebration; NO new story

1/29: Archie Showcase Digest #22 - reprint digest; no new story

So we get only two new classic-style stories (totaling ten pages) and an overpriced issue aimed at collectors and billed as (I shit you not) a "watershed moment" for Archie Comics (and the industry as a whole). One of the regular digests gets no new story, and the other (World of Betty and Veronica) doesn't show up at all. Considering World of B&V took a 6- or 7-month hiatus a while ago and was thought canceled (or maybe it was and then was quietly uncanceled), might they be getting rid of it for real this time?

I honestly don't understand why they can't make these book-length stories. 5-6 pages? That's it? Amber Nightstone, the villain, is one of the freshest characters Archie has, introduced two years ago, and, aside from the Wicked Trinity miniseries, is getting the short shrift, literally, in these short stories.

Ian Flynn's been with Archie for years (i.e. Sonic The Hedgehog), and knows how to write longer stories. This year's short tale starts right in the middle of the action, with Sabrina answering a summons from Jughead. We see Archie and Mr. Lodge having already been ensorcelled by Amber, and the dialogue tells us how instead of showing the reader what happened. Flynn and Steven Butler are veterans. They know better.

The reprints in the back-up slots are all of more recent vintage, it would appear, say, within the last 10-15 years or so. Can anyone confirm?

Give me a Sabrina monthly drawn by Butler over this.

Is the reason they had a Betty and Me series due to Archie always being with Veronica in the main comics so they created that title to give Betty storylines with Archie?

Finally got around to watching To Riverdale and Back Again, the 90s made-for-tv movie. I thought it was great. The casting was reminiscent of the comic depictions but not too close, which I felt helped keep the characters grounded. I thought it was well-written and wholesome and gave the characters enough development to carry the themes but not too much to divorce them completely from the core dynamics (the Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle, the Archie/Reggie rivalry etc) that defined their comic counterparts.

And yeah, I thought the Jughead rap was oddly endearing and dorky in the best way.

TLDR: Archie t.v. movie is a comic adaptation done right. Lots of sincerity and heart sorely missing from modern fare.

What do you all think?

Longtime Marvel/DC reader who wants to expand his horizons here. Just have a love of the medium and the artwork in particular, but noticed a lot of the Archie digests have very small, non-standard dimensions. Do they print any of these books in a more standard comic book size, like 8.3 x 10 or whatever?

When I was a kid I remember a funny Betty and Veronica comic where Betty buys something from the store, Veronica is convinced it is a small bikini, so she gets a small one to beat Betty and it ends up being earplugs, and Veronica is in a small bikini, I can't find what comic it was originally in or double digest it might have been reprinted in, can anyone here help with this?

I'm looking for an old comic I remember seeing in an Archie comics book. It wasn't about any of the main characters. I sadly don't remember the name of the character. The story was about how that girl was always sitting in weird ways, and her parents kept telling her to sit properly. Anyone else remembers this and can help me find it? Thank you!
