comicwiz Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Didn't you ever wonder why the US versions of that time period had that big price box? My thinking is they were probably considering working in the "Only 25¢" marketing angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is they were probably considering working in the "Only 25¢" marketing angle. Weren't there three or four different price points on comics at that time? Some Marvels had prices printed larger than the issue numbers for example, and I thought it was done to avoid confusion as to the price for the customer or cashier.

ChrisInBaltimore Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 How true You know my daughter is starting to get interested in Archie comics. I thought it'd be a good read, but every time I see covers there is some sexual theme or innuendo that I'm not sure it is a good book for her...

The newer stuff seems somewhat toned down in that regard, both covers and interior stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer stuff seems somewhat toned down in that regard, both covers and interior stories. I've never nticed the interior stories rivaling the covers for covert innuendo. Then again I never realy noticed the innuendo until I started hanging out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The innuendo is somewhat milder than what's found in Tex Avery cartoons - I never worried about my kids reading it. At worst Archies from that era reinforce the objectification of the female form and idea that girls have nothing better to do than obsess over boys. Which I always figured was more or less the point of Archie comics anyway. On another note - really like those late 50s/early 60s scifi & monster covers.

kidcolt Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I find a lot of comics and cartoons have stuff in them that adults "GET" but kids don't notice. I started reading Archie as a young kid in the 70's and never noticed any of that stuff. Now when I read it I get it and have a good laugh but never did pick up on it as a kid.

lb jefferies Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Archie 115 from 1960 is the first time the logo on Archie was not red and blue. I don't think they strayed from red/blue logos again until about 1973. Gotta love the Archie 115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
