Archie Comics

I always enjoyed this series, and wish it would be brought back.  It's all the characters from the standard Archie comics, put in the year 3000!  So it's kind of like Archie meets the Jetsons.  And it certainly preceded the "Futurama" animated TV series, coincidentally set in the year 3000.  Archie comics, as a rule, are usually pretty dull and repetitive, but this series was really, really fun and creative, bright and colorful.  This was a remarkable way for the creators to take familiar characters and place them in more interesting situations.

Hanna-Barbera Presents #1

In the early 1990s, Archie Comics was licensed to release Hanna-Barbera comics.  I liked how they paired Atom Ant and Secret Squirrel in this issue.

Scooby-Doo #1

Scooby-Doo is better as a comic than as a cartoon.  The characters and stories are perfect for adventure comics.  In cartoons, I'd rather laugh.  So I was naturally thrilled when I heard they were releasing this title.  And on the cover, we see my favorite, the pint-sized pup Scrappy Doo!
