Oldiesmann: Interesting to see they're bring Wilbur Wilkin back from the dead again. I remember them making a big deal of it when they suddenly decided he was Jughead's cousin years ago - only for him to vanish again, much like Jellybean

Tuxedo Mark: How absolutely pathetic. Five items, three of which are entirely reprints. Only two new 5-page stories for the entire month. Only two of the four "main" digests. And the story in the girls' digest features Bingo and Pureheart.

Archie circle logo

Hello, I'm new here. I was hoping that someone who collects older Archie titles might be able to help me. I recently bought a small lot of titles from the early 70's, and some of them had a circle logo, rather than the typical rectangle in the corner. I looked on the first page, but there isn't anything that seems to indicate that it's an international edition and all of the advertisements have U.S. addresses on them. Can anyone tell me where these are from? Thanks.

Archie changed to the circle logo in 1973 and that lasted for a year until they changed it again in 1974.  That logo lasted until 1982 when it was changed again.  Comic book companies seem to like changing their logos from time to time.  DC has done it quite a few times.

Rusty,
Thanks for the history lesson! I didn't know that, and it's crazy that I've never stumbled upon some of those issues before.
Cheers!
