   Call me a reactionary, but this ARCHIE 1000 PAGE COMICS FESTIVAL is just the thing for people who are tired of revisionist comic superheroes who, without warning, go all "Social Justice Warrior" and suddenly lapse in character from cynicism to altruism. Or for snide comics which parody other comics. Or for 3-D effects that are neither comic nor realistic-looking. Or even for comics that are reprints from 40 - 70 years ago. These "Archie Superstars" are new -- they were printed as regular comics Call me a reactionary, but this ARCHIE 1000 PAGE COMICS FESTIVAL is just the thing for people who are tired of revisionist comic superheroes who, without warning, go all "Social Justice Warrior" and suddenly lapse in character from cynicism to altruism. Or for snide comics which parody other comics. Or for 3-D effects that are neither comic nor realistic-looking. Or even for comics that are reprints from 40 - 70 years ago. These "Archie Superstars" are new -- they were printed as regular comics this year and now find their way into this healthy thousand-page digest. They're entirely in color. And . . . hold for it . . . they're FUNNY. Since he was introduced in the Forties, the boy with the hashtag hair, Archie Andrews, and his Riverdale friends have changed very little visually. This so-called "Archie Superstars" series is classic-looking all the way and has nothing to do with the television shows, or the more modern techniques of the "Archie grows up" series. You could almost think you were back in Riverdale in the Eisenhower years: at some point in the late 1980s Archie's famous jalopy "died" and now he drives a beat-up pony car with reliability issues of its own. But the situations, as well as the "look," are timeless: among the stories here, Archie winds up inviting both Betty and Veronica to a skate date; Jughead freaks when his parents sell their home; a bored Veronica applies "multiple guess" to an aptitude test, with surprising results. A little bit of Americana that, at this price, you can easily afford to give a younger relative as a present. Not into yuks and juvenilia? Fine. Lots of comic characters out there are trying to save the world; or fall prey to those who want to condemn it. These Archie comics are just for fun.
