DCML Digest, Vol 46, Issue 22

[Leo Schulte]

  Recent issues of the Wall Street Journal have carried articles of
  tangential interest: on Thursday an article detailed the career of
  the recently Joseph Barbera, co-creator with William Hanna, of Tom
  and Jerry, the Flintstones, Yogi Bear, the Jetsons, etc.  Friday's
  issue had an article on Archie comic books, and how the characters
  are being re-designed.  Archie and company are similarly "frozen in
  time" like the Duckburg Universe, and there is some controversy about
  the updating of the characters.

  The article mentions that Archie isssues sell between 15,000 and
  75,000, with some digests hitting 100,000!  This is down from the
  good ol' days 50 years ago when sales of 1 million were not uncommon.

  Again, I have mentioned that Archie comics are quite visible in the
  major book stores, and at grocery stores: look at the sales numbers
  in comparison to our Disney Comics!
