Firstly, I wonder why Archie is listed under ’’Children’’...yeah, I know...maybe its cos people assume that only kids enjoy it...but I am sure many of you out there disagree...Archie Comics are enjoyed by people of all ages...provided the person enjoys reading comics...
i dont remember when I read my first Archie - but am pretty sure it was when I was in school...my mum used to buy them for me sometimes...and I also used to borrow them from a public library...i immediately took to them...and become a hardcore Archie Addict...
set in Riverdale and Riverdale High School, the stories revolve around a whole bunch of friends who are verrrry different from each other, but great friends nevertheless...
