I had no ideal IDW put out a collection (hopefully it will turn out plural) of DeCarlo’s Archie run.

I’m a little surprised that Archie comics didn’t put it out but am happy to see it out.

I really think there should be contests where we are given three or four Archie Comics plotlines and have to guess which one is made up.

Graffiti: Well, they did do those ‘Best of [decade]’ Americana collections in the 90s…

I’ll admit, I had no idea Archie comics ever featured stories even close to The Phenomenon.

I remember the Midas Mess! And the Phenomemon sounds intriguing.
The surreal Archie stories were always my favourite.

Also, for those wondering why archie comics themselves didnt put this out, the reason is that they made a deal with idw to release collections of their older material such as these best of’s and mad house and pureheart the powerful

Schneid: your wish is granted (sorry, no prize beyond the admiration of your many peers). These may be full-length stories or one page gags:

1. A look behind the scenes of her TV cooking show reveals that Veronica isn’t the master chef she appears to be on screen.

2. Jughead is drafted to test the output of Dilton’s automatic cooking machine.

3. The gang helps Pop Tate make the best of his temporarily missing front window by operating the Chok’lit Shoppe as a drive through.

As far as I know, one of those is made up. Then again, this is Archie…

Anybody out there have Archie Pals N’ Gals #23?

Confused because having picked up the Josie and The Pussycats TPB, it says that Josie and Melody first appear in an 8 page story in She’s Josie #1.

However Wikipedia and an article about Dan DeCarlo in a Comic Magazine (title escapes me at the moment) both say Archie Pals N’ Gals #23 is the 1st time Josie appears and based on the look of the man’s wife (unless the article writer just cribbed his research from wiki).
