How many years does it take to read all the Archie comics?
For me, it takes at least 30 years or more because I do not read often.  :o

And you?

I could probably read them all in a couple of years if I had the time and made the effort.  There are nearly 7000 comics plus whatever new stories appeared in digests.

I have no idea but there are actually some Archie stuff that I absolutely no interest in . I don't really care to read the stories from 40's & 50's 60's & 70's. Every from the 80's & up to now is what interests me.

You could probably read all those (not counting reprinted stories in digests and trade collections) in less than 6 months, if you don't have a full-time job and set yourself daily goals for completion. That would be assuming you already had all those comics on hand to start off.

Assembling
that collection (1980s-present) in the first place is probably going to take somewhat longer than that, even assuming an unlimited budget, since a few individual comics would undoubtedly stubbornly elude you.
