Jump forward to the year 2019, and one of my local charity book stores had two books from this series! Archie, Best of the Fifties, Volume 1 was right within my reach and I decided to pick them up.
I have to start out by saying that these are cute and amusing, but clearly made in a different time. They don't hold up super well, but at the same time are quite charming. While I didn't laugh as much as my parents did, I did have a bright smile and feel like I was transported back in time. I can imagine the excited kids with their nickels and dimes running to go get a copy of these comics.
The sweet comics are very safe, tame and sweet. Archie is quite the player too! I absolutely adored Jughead and wanted Veronica and Betty's style. I am curious if these were the literal "best" of the fifties because they just weren't... the best? I'll have to grab more volumes and see how they changed over time.
I definitely want to keep reading Archie comics and travel throughout the decades with them. I'd like to see the evolution this series went through up to present day. And yes, I still eye the current Archie comics at my local grocery store. I can't help it!
Two out of five stars.… (mere)
