“The Archies” are not alone in the tour, they’re joined by “Josie and the Puss圜ats,” “The Bingos” and “The Madds.” For those who’ve never heard of these groups the comic includes a brief bio which includes when the group first appeared in the Archie comic books. The rivalry of all the girls who love Archie is prevalent through the entire comic. Once the tour starts in Mumbai, India Amisha, young starlet of Bollywood enters the scene with a “romance” with Archie, soon to be followed by Cheryl who now wants Archie as well as her company acquires the company who’s producing the documentary of “The Archies” world tour. Archie and Valerie are “back together” behind the scenes, Veronica is jealous of course. I like the fact none of the characters have changed to any real extend in the last 60 years and that they’ve not changed in how they related to each other: Archie being the guy all the girls want. When the series started everything revolved around their town, Riverdale The only thing which has changed is the storylines of the comics themselves. This is not to say that the boys never read Archie or the girls never read any of the comics the boys read, they did. While the boys read the Superman, Batman, and Action Comics the girls had all of the Archie Comics with their wonderful characters of Archie, Betty, Jughead, Reggie and Veronica.
Being a child of the 1950’s comic books had been a mainstay of our existence.
