First up, who devirginized Archie? And no, it ain't Jughead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was cleaning my room when i saw my Archie's. Yeah, back when i was little i laugh at all Archie books, now i LAUGH at THEM for making the Dick Clark teenagers unfunny!
Anyway, i saw this comic which isn't really mine and i thought i returned it. Anyway, the gist is Archie is moving out of his Riverdale home to settle in the Big City to join a law firm recommended by his fiance, Pam. (ha, no B & V!)
Unlike in his teens, Archie despises Riverdale.
In such utter coincidence, there's a reunion coming up and yes, the gang's back.
This Archie special was some sort of a preview for an NBC-TV movie of the week back in 1990. The book is cool because it happened in the future, and it's so out there unlike the usual Archie that we see. But the story was so hurried that it never was a good read.
Like i said, Archie's Riverdale and Back Again is an Archie classic not because of the story but because it was just different.
