79. Archie Andrews

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 2 August 2022 10:12

First Appearance: Pep Comics #22
Best Writer & Artist: Bob Montana

As a character, Archie’s not that interesting. He’s a typical mid-century American (white, middle-class) teen: a boringly pleasant, hetero horn-dog with the sort of “problems” (car, girl, money) that could only be considered problems by the middle-class. As the centerpiece for one of comics’ largest and longest-running cast of characters, though, Archie is a perfectly calibrated place-holder — a sounding board for his diverse friends and the idiosyncratic faculty of Riverdale High. And if Archie seems a little stereotypical, that’s because (along with Mickey Rooney’s Andy Hardy) his character basically created the template for the American teenager. — Garrett Martin

Journey to the Far Side of the Sun review

Posted : 3 years, 1 month ago on 19 March 2021 02:03

It is impossible not to view this film as a long episode of "The Twilight Zone". A long format that does not do justice to this singular story of a double universe because the rhythm is a little uneven.
A good B series of S-F to discover nevertheless, even if only to see the cult Roy "The Invaders" Thinnes again, accompanied in this case by two pretty little-known actresses (Loni von Friedl and Lynn Loring).

Many of you probably never heard of this movie. I saw it as a preteen. I remember it very well though. Weird.
