Regular issues would turn up in those coverless, 3-for-1 plastic bags that I got most of my comics from.

I've recently read the first Married Life collection, love Afterlife, and will probably pick up the Predator series when it gets collected.

Bolling is best known for his Little Archies, but I'd like to point out that he did some Sabrinas, and they are outstanding. You can see a few of them at this link:

I read #1 of the new Archie from Waid and Staples. It was decent but nothing I'd pay more than a buck for.

That is it for me.

I was looking at the Americana books on Amazon and they have a hardcover and a paperback version. Do you know if the hardcovers have vol. 1 and 2 of each decade combined?

I just started the Mark Waid run of the new Archie and I'm really liking it so far. I wish Fiona Staples could have done more than just 3 issues. I really like her artwork.

Last month's new Simpsons' episode had a quick Archie gag.

I foresee a publishing schedule worse than Afterlife with Archie.

Adam Hughes hasn't fully penciled interior artwork for an entire comic in how long?
