The Battle for Archie Comics

Barry has called my attention to a long article on the battle for control of Archie Comics by Robin Finn titled “The Battle for a Comic-Book Empire That Archie Built,” which ran in the New York Times on April 13, 2012. You can read the full piece on the NYT’s website. The well-written piece includes this classic quip:

. . .they both claim to love Archie dearly, almost like a son–a son who is pushing 71 yet retains a head of lush red hair, abundant freckles and the top spot in a famous love triangle.

  1. You can’t find a Veronica comic from the Bronze and Silver age, on the whole wide world web. You can surfer the internet and not find one comic book of this title. Not only a good comic not to be found at all, but an era gone bye, it seems unfortunately also too.

  2. It is unfortunate that these comics are getting harder to find. You might have some luck searching eBay on “Betty and Veronica”.
