ARCHIE COMICS

Posted by admin On October - 1 - 2007

For the person from a certain company who asked why Archie gets so much space on site -it’s because they send us news,etc.;you do the same and you’ll get mentioned.

 

So,here’s the latest from Rick Offenberger! 

 

THIS DECEMBER, IT’S “ROMANCE RIVERDALE STYLE” IN ARCHIE COMICS!  

  

For nearly 70 years, the lynchpin of Archie Comics has been the romantic entanglements of its main characters.  From the eternal “love triangle” between Betty, Veronica and Archie, to Midge’s undying devotion for jealous Moose, to Ethel’s infatuation with uninterested Jughead, romance has played perhaps the most integral of roles in the lives of Riverdale High’s comic book teens.  Now, a “bouquet” of stories revolving around love most fair… and love most frightful… awaits you this December.  Don’t miss these “lovely” tales!

BETTY & VERONICA DIGEST #180 

“Love Can Be Nasty”: Cheryl Blossom is tired of competing with Betty and Veronica for Archie’s affections.  Likewise, Reggie is tired of competing with Archie for dates with Betty and Veronica.  Guess it’s time for Reggie and Cheryl to form an alliance to solve this once and for all!  But will putting their heads together result in their hearts coming together, too?  It’s the romantic jigsaw puzzle of the year, as only the matchmakers (and breakers) at Archie Comics could conceive it!
