Archies' Comics

I was a huge Archie comics fan, especially the double digest ones. Everytime we went to the store, I'd get one. When I was 10, I found a huge box of old ones at a thrift store. The owner said they never sell & gave me the whole box for $10. I have no idea what happened to them, they "disappeared" after a move in my teens. When my kid was 8 she asked for an Archie comic at the store & she now has a collection of her own

TheKidUpstairs I can remember scraping together enough change to buy a new Archie comic and bicycling to the general store in town 🙂 I have a couple at home, surprisingly it is my youngest (3 years old) who loves reading them with me. 2y

TheBookHippie @Trashcanman I love that book! I could do a reread. 2y

BookmarkTavern That‘s so fun! And that you get to share that love too! Thank you for answering! 2y

InkedBookworm13 @Trashcanman I read that book for the first time in high school. I loved it and read it again a few times over the years 2y

Trashcanman @InkedBookworm13 it's a painful book to read for me. I've only read it twice. 2y

Sorry for the late post but thanks for the tag @TheAromaofBooks ! 🥰♥️
1. Good question! I‘d say when NASA decided Pluto was a dwarf planet. It was weird to relearn that there are only 8 planets in our solar system 🤷🏽‍♀️😅
2. Library!
3. I wish I could say it was some classic book or a really good novel but it‘s comics that got me into reading. I read every single Archie comic sold in my local grocery when I was 8 📚🤓

i.besteph Wanna play? @LitStephanie @Mishu94 @QuietlyLaura @Cinfhen 3y

Eggs You know what? I forgot that I devoured comic books as a child-Archie, Donald, celebs, Disney comics, etc. Thanks for stirring up a great memory🥳 3y

Eggs Ah yes the Archie Digest was the best!! @Cinfhen @I.be.Stef 3y

Lreads Thanks for the tag! I also read some of the Archie comics as a kid! I enjoyed the stories and the fact that they were printed in a smaller, more portable size. ☺️ 3y

LitStephanie Oh yeah, I remember my confusion when Pluto was demoted! Thanks for the tag! 3y

i.besteph @QuietlyLaura You‘re welcome! 🤗 I loved the portable size of the comics too! It just meant I could carry more to read some more 😂 3y

i.besteph @LitStephanie Right?!? I was confused too 🤷🏽‍♀️💯 3y

TheAromaofBooks Oh Pluto! Such tragedy! 😂 3y

i.besteph @TheAromaofBooks it really was! 😭😂🙌🏽 3y

I just found a whole bunch of old comic books I used to read as a kid!!💥💥I used to always have my main read (a novel) & a comic on the side (usually Archie or manga). Anyone else went through a comic book phase?🦔

jdiehr Yes - and Archie was my favorite! 3y

Hhhjjjnsjehdhwjd @jdiehr Same. They were light & funny. When I read them in middle school, I couldn‘t wait to be in high school because I thought all I‘d do is go to the beach & hang with friends.💭I was wrong. 3y

jdiehr @ilanakeukake sigh... 😄 3y

Our local library gave out weekly craft projects leading up to Christmas. The last one was a decoupage tile coaster. It came with some book pages, but I chose to go with my comfort comic.

Tattooedteacher O. M. G. I remember these from my childhood. Are they still around? 4y

TieDyeDude @Tattooedteacher Heck yeah! They have some more modern-looking comics, but you can still find the original digests, sometimes where they sell magazines, sometimes in the checkout aisle of Walmart or grocery stores. 4y

Tattooedteacher That‘s cool. Just added to the stack as a reminder. So fun! Thanks. 4y
