This could be the best interpretation of Sabrina I've ever seen. Give Gisele her own Sabrina title!

Heres my choices for artist per character


Veronica...Harry Lucey. This was easy too.





That is one freaking hot Veronica  :smitten:

Let's not forget, Erica Henderson draws a perfect Betty!  :tickedoff: lol!

Whenever I think of Reggie, I'm torn between Dan DeCarlo and Harry Lucey's wavy haired version!
Also, Joe Edwards' Mr. Weatherbee brings fond memories... as does Al Hartley's.

Samm Schwartz did the best Jughead. I like Harry Lucey's Archie. DeCarlo's Betty and Veronica are gorgeous. His Reggie is also very good. Fernando Ruiz also draws a good Reggie.

I agree. Also, there's something special about Al Hartley's Big Ethel, if you ask me.

Are Betty and Veronica even friends at this point in the rebooted Archie universe?

I think some of these covers are great from an artistic point of view, but I don't really see Betty or Veronica in any of them. Just a generic blonde and brunette who could just as easily be Lois Lane and Hagar the Horrible's daughter.

That looks like some prime DeCarlo right there.

Neal Adams!

Is this a question?

I originally chose BrightestDay because I think I registered when that event was going on in the DCU and I thought it sounded lovely. Hindsight made me rethink that decision.  :P


Thrillho comes from the Simpsons episode "Marge Be Not Proud." When Milhouse has to enter his name on a video game he chooses Thrillhouse but he doesn't have space so it comes out as Thrillho. I thought it was funny and I am not clever enough to come up with my own username.  :)


I think your new name is a step up from BrightestDay! Not that there was anything wrong with your old name.

Pretty much everyone at Central High seems to be overly jerky. I've lost track of how many one-off Central High students have caused trouble for Riverdale's finest.

50s and 60s mostly

Definitely some great influential musician made themselves known back then like Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and The Jefferson Airplane just to name a few.

Tommy James has been covered by:

Joan Jett - Crimson & Clover
Billy Idol - Mony Mony
Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now
Tom Petty - Dragging the Line

In all 4 cases, I think the originals are superior.
I'd like to add some personal faves- Roy Orbison, The Bee Gees and Tommy James and the Shondells.
I completely forgot that The Bee Gees started out in the 60's and maybe even earlier when they were kids. They really changed the Disco scene though in the later 70's with there stuff. Roy Orbison had such a great voice. I don't know much about Tommy James and the Shondells.

Raj first appeared in TALES FROM RIVERDALE DIGEST #21 in 2008 - in a story written and drawn by Fernando Ruiz. I don't know if he's responsible for creating the character himself... maybe he'll see this and comment on that.

Ahh... Raj...


Archie started noticing that their books enjoyed an exceptional popularity in India. I can't remember exactly when this was but 2008 sounds right.

Victor Gorelick came to me and told me that Archie Comics were popular in India so they wanted to give Archie an Indian friend and they wanted me to create him. I don't know why he chose me for the job. It may have been because I was regularly writing and drawing the new story in Tales From Riverdale at the time and that's where they wanted to introduce the character.

Now since I knew almost nothing about India, I started doing some research and I relied heavily on an Indian student I had at the time. (How ironic! This student was Indian by way of Canada!) I came up with Raj and his family who were going to be new arrivals in Riverdale. Initially, I named Raj "Kiran" after my student and gave him the family name of Singh. I gave him a father who was supposed to run a candy store in Riverdale. Immediately, I was told that this was too stereotypical, but I honestly just wanted to give Riverdale a new landmark and the gang a new place to hang out. This was immediately changed to Raj's dad being a doctor... (which I guess an Indian doctor isn't so stereotypical...?!?) Kiran's mom was supposed to be a scientist who worked for Lodge Industries. She was going to be the source of lots of wacky experiments and sci-fi adventures. Kiran was also supposed to have a sister named Priti, who was younger than Kiran but she was supposed to have skipped a grade in school so she could still be in classes with the Archie gang if needed. I gave Kiran the interest in special effects and film making and the trademark of the Hawaiian shirt. I also drew sketches of all the characters.

My whole proposal was run by someone Archie was doing business with in India. Most of my ideas were left intact except for the afore-mentioned candy store and everyone's names. "Singh" was considered to be too typical so they changed the family name to Patel.

WE did a couple of Ray stories. I don't remember how many. One day, I received a phone call from Michael Silberkleit himself. This was VERY rare. I think the man called me TWICE in all the years I worked for him. He told me that Raj was getting some popularity in India and that the Indian press my try to get a hold of me. He said he really thought Raj was something "special" and he "really needed to be handled right" so if I received any calls from the press I should direct them to him. I told him I would but I never got any calls until years later when I was called for an interview and I handled it myself. I don't remember if Michael was still living when I did that. The entire fiasco with Dan DeCarlo was a public relations trauma and still very fresh in everyone's memory at that point so I suspect Michael was very interested in not associating me as a "creator" of Raj Patel and locking up the public perception of that property as completely Archie-owned with no room for doubt whatsoever. I always thought that was pretty shady.

That's my Raj story.

Fernando, should you ever choose to write an autobiography, I'll be first in line to buy it.
