143ksk Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 There was a movie called Archie: Return to Riverdale . I don't think it was very good, but I haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrunkenhead Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I love all this stuff! Keep it coming! Wish I had something to contribute, but I sold all my Archie stuff off a while ago. A question: Anybody know why there has never been a live-action Archie tv show or movie? It would seem a sure bet for a studio considering Archie is one of the mainstays of the industry to this day. Joe I agree, Archie's absence from the big screen is a bit odd. I guess the studio heads figure it would be a tough sell...a little too risque for the "Dennis the Menace" crowd, and too cutsie-cute for the American Pie crowd. Sadly, so many mainsteam Americans think of Archie as pretty bland, forumulaic (i.e. tired) comedy. They wouldn't know a Pep #22 if it hit 'em in the head.

underthebigw Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well, it's not quite your vintage, but I've been looking for this for years in VF or better, and this allegedly NM copy is on the way. Is this treasury size book as tough as it seems to me? I've only ever seen a couple of copies in any condition and Overstreet has it broken out as scarce.

143ksk Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 I've seen a number of copies, but rarely better than FN. I think it is a truly tough book in VF and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Side note on the Archie #40. When I was 12 (1985) my Mom took me to a yard sale. They had several hundred Archies from about 1965-1980, and were selling them for .10 a piece. Our family didn't have a lot of money, but my sweet mother bought me FORTY DOLLARS WORTH! To be 12 and have 400 Archies you've never read was like sensory overload. Well, the people at that house brought out a really beat up copy of Archie #40, which I'd never seen anything like at that time. They told us it wasn't for sale! To this day I still have all 400 books and would not sell them - my kids will be reading them someday! Fast forward to 2001-2002. I was collecting Archie #1-100, and had every issue but #40 (on purpose). My mom was dying of cancer, and before she passed I showed her the #40 I had just purchased that completed the #1-100 set, and told her how much she meant to me. To me, there will never be any replacement for Archie Comics and I slipped an Archie #110 (The "Mama's Boy" Cover) in her casket with her. Mom was a Katy Keene fan as a child, and used to get big stacks of them in the 50's for a dime. Archies are the part of me that are pure and perfect, and remind me of much simpler times in my life. I love you all! Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 That was a very touching gesture on your part and one of the more human thing's about comic collecting that I've heard in a long time. Even though it was connected with such a sad occasion, it is nice to hear about something other than the finacial and superficial aspects of collecting. I bet your mom's up above reading that copy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heinlein99 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Awesome story, Shield. Comics with an emotional, childhood attachment are absolutely irreplacable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
