Hey gang!

Archie & Friends issues 137 and 138 feature a number of lesser known characters from the Archie catalog.

Of special interest, Sargent Boyle and Rang-A-Tang the Wonder Dog both make appearances.

These issues are new on the shelf and ... well ... I like to support this type of effort.

Thanks for the heads-up Boox!
MLJ fans should grab these.

I've got a feeling they did this to secure fresh trademarks on these characters.

[slingsla]

Same reason the Hasbro re-uses names for new Transformers even if the new character is completely different from the old, just to maintain that trademark..

Don't get me started on messing up a character. Anyone remember the REAL G.I. Joe action figures? The big 12" ones, not the little wimpy plastic things.

GI Joe -Don't call em a doll- action figures

[Astaldo711]

Yes! The original G.I. Joe dolls were programmed to explode if you called them dolls. Kens dolls went *pif* and wet themselves if you called them action figures  - which is why Barbie left him for a real action figure - Joe.
The new G.I. Joe toys are 'figurines' at best.
That's why I was happy to read the old comics with Joe as a REAL American hero!

The days of good TV. I liked the others but Rat Patrol seemed most exciting to me at the time even though we sure did not a color tv back then

Ever notice there wasn't a single 1960's WWII Drama series set in the pacific theater?

McHale's Navy was a comedy,and did set 3 of it's 4 years there. Ironicly, it started as a drama pilot on Alcoa Presents Fred Astair Theater, "7 Against The Sea"!

What about "Baa Baa Black Sheep?"

[DennyWilson]

What about "Baa Baa Black Sheep?"

I was refering to the 1960's,actually.

Loved the series, hard to beleive NBC dropped the show not once,but twice. Perhaps that's why i'm also a BLACKHAWKS fan

Yes and Yes!

  Love the Blackhawks.
  Hate Howard Chaykin.

I'm on the fence when it comes to chaykin.

[Astaldo711]

He's a mediocre artist in my opinion. Don't hate it but it's nothing spectacular to me. I never got into American Flagg.

[narfstar]

Chaykin's work does not appeal to me looks like a very poor man's Toth. Also do not like Frank Miller's stuff

you mean back in the pre-ninja/snakemen days?

I never thought of that till you mentioned it!

I love Toth's work.

[narfstar]

I liked Toth's earlier work better than his later minimalist stuff
