  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)
    May 21, 2012, 07:23:13 AM
  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

Archie Comics#1 65th Anniversary
« on: July 03, 2007, 04:43:09 PM »
65 YEARS AGO HISTORY WAS MADE
 
Archie Comics #1 changed the course of Comic Book publishing. Archie Andrews debuted in Pep Comics #22 and was an instant success. The following year Archie was given his own title with Archie Comics #1 and history was made.  Archie Comics has been continuously published for 65 years and it is the only humorous comic book that can make that claim.
 
As a special treat for our fans. Archie Publishing is reprinting every story in Archie Comics #1, as well as the very first Archie story ever, from Pep Comics #22 and delivering a brand new story featuring Archie as he was in 1942 in a trip down memory lane as Archie of today runs into Archie of yesteryear. All of this is contained in ARCHIE DIGEST #236 at our regular digest price of $2.49. It is an outstanding price for a chance to relive comic book history.
 
See the first appearance of Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica as they were 65 years ago. In addition to the new and classic stories featuring Archie there are stories with Chubby the Bear, Bumbie the Bee-tective, Squoimy the Woim, and Judge Owl’s Fables. Stories that most fans have never seen.

Cool! I got to write the story "When Archie Meets Archie..." but i hadn't had a chance to see any of Rex's pages yet. I hope everyone out there gives this one a chance. If you do, enjoy it and by all means, drop me a post letting me know what you think!

Keep reading!

Fernando!

This book is definitely on my MUST GET list.  I can't believe how different Archie and the gang looked back in 1942!

I must say that this whole idea of reprinting Archie #1 in a digest 65 years later is one of the best!

Many thanks to Archie for producing this book :smitten:

Next step (dare we hope it?) a chronological reprinting of all of the early Archie books?

Jughead always looks like such a sad sack in those early Archie comics.

Maybe that's what the "S" stands for.

Uh-oh. I just noticed a major error. In the new story, old Archie calls himself "Chic". It's supposed to be "Chick".

Oddly, this is the reverse of an error that happened in Betty and Veronica's Scrapbook back in B&VDD #150. There, Betty's brother was called "Chick". It's supposed to be "Chic".

We can only hope, even if it was just the Archie series i'd be the happiest person on earth! Maybe if they did like what they're doing for Sonic, some sort of "Archie Archives" or something, it would be amazing to read issues that arent too easy to get.  Like say they could do #2-100 or something like that, 4 issues at a time or something, completely restored and not changed one bit.  I'd be first in line to buy! 

I love this digest!! Best of 2007 BY FAR!
