I'd read precious few Archie comics before picking up a Riverdale Digest at the grocery store, a six & a half inch by five inch (6 1/2" x 5") volume containing the first issues of ongoing series Archie, Jughead, Betty & Veronica, & Josie and the Pussycats, & the limited series Reggie and Me. Interest piqued, I searched the Genesee District Library electronic card catalogue. I will say that I found teenage comic soap opera far more edifying than the last several superhero volumes I've read. Superhero comics are just so hysterical & either insufferably self-important or too clever by half. It was nice to read some comics that were just plain fun.
