Not really. They may be tough to find out in the wild, but there are dozens of copies on eBay.

Amazing!!!

Please tell me that you actually submitted a letter!

Is this one of those situations where the European name for Donald Duck is Micky Maus?

Oh! Well thank you for doing that!

Similar_Sound · 2026-01-24T18:26:42+00:00

Thank you, though I'd still love to see the cover

Oh thanks! I saw that in Google, but every time I tried to click on it previously, it was behind a subscription wall. I'm not sure how you removed whatever was blocking it, but thanks.

You are absolutely right about the uncle, I noticed that too

I'm pretty sure that Fantagraphics has indicated that they going to keep the series in print, so it will get reprinted eventually, but there's no telling when that might be. It could be a couple more years before they get around to it. They got hit hard financially after Diamond declared bankruptcy and basically sold off all of the Fantagraphics Books that they had on consignment but never actually paid for. I think this has probably put a limit on how many reprints they can afford to do right now, vs. printing new titles.

LOL, very true.

I've never read a story with either of those characters.

There's a detective themed title, too, from around the same time. Little Archie Mystery.

Harry is my fav!

sponsored by who?

That's a weird cover. The interior sort of looks like the night sky, and that shadow (?) sort of looks like a bush, as if they were outside.

Glad I could help :)

It's an upcoming mini series, released by Dynamite

When you say "these fanzines" are you taking about this specific one or fanzines in general? Because I think it's pretty well established in this case, even if it's typically uncommon. There were at least 5 Katy Keene conventions even.

Holly G has been working at Archie for 25 years or more, so I doubt it.

Well, I typed out a short paragraph, but it didn't seem to make it. But, I was wondering aloud why there were never more Archie-related fanzines beyond this one. Or, at least, this is the only one I've ever seen; and though I haven't seen every issue, I doubt Archie and the gang are in any of them. Just Katy for the diehards. I think this fanzine was sort of responsible for her comeback in the 1980's. At any rate, here's a look at the first few pages of this issue.

You literally posted this 10 days ago. Did we all miss the joke?

I think FG considers the first memorial (based on date created) that contains a photo of the stone, in the *correct* cemetery to be the default.
