Everyone is going rightfully crazy over the new Afterlife with Archie horror comic book series (issue #2 just came out this week), it's really good, very dark and very gruesome, and definitely NOT for the kiddies, so click HERE for info about if you're not quite hip to it yet-- hey, they're even reprinting stories in the back of it from the short-lived Chilling Adventures in Sorcery series from the 70's (which we featured here at THOIA a few months back, as well as over at my other blog too.) We love the Archies around here as much as we love zombies, vamps, mummies, and saaaay Frankenstein... and with that in mind we thought it would be fun to give you a silly taste of the monstery Frankenstein side of Riverdale life, a wild bit of mad-cap mad science, with a fun male/female role reversal twist-- from the July 1974 issue of Life with Archie #147.















BONUS!

Hey, if you know the name of the story from your uncle's comic let me know and I'll try to get it posted for you... "it's never too late to ruin your dinner around here" is my motto!

An Archie spooktacular tale here is a nice break for the usual vibe. Thumbs up!

There isn't much for me to say here, except that Betty's short-shorts in the house ad is tempting me away from my life-long preference for Veronica ...

Wow, a straight-up anti-ERA message from Archie Comics. The seventies were a brutal place. I mean, what if some kid saw this and suddenly thought equality was ridiculous? I really loved Archie's lederhosen, though!

It's not called the horrors of it ALL for nothing, Chuck! Thanks for stopping by :)

I totally knew you were gonna say something about that, Mr C... I'm just surprised Brian didn't!

Brian Barnes is right, it's a tough choice between Betty and Veronica. And then there's Millie and Chili.
