Archie-Comics gibt es schon seit 1939, also fast genau so lang wie
Batman: Nicht nur die Eltern sind damit aufgewachsen, sondern auch die Großeltern und deren Eltern. Die Hefte lagen dort schon aus, als die Altvorderen noch in den nächsten kleinen Kramladen gingen und Wal-Marts oder Malls noch etwas völlig Exotisches waren.
Kniffligere Fragen wären: Worin liegt für Amerikaner der Unterschied zwischen
Batman und
Archie? Ist der Unterschied vielleicht geringer, als wir Ignoranten aus Europa annehmen?

Superheroes
At various points, Archie Comics has experimented with publishing various superhero titles. Beginning with Blue Ribbon Comics #1 (Nov. 1939), and continuing throughout the 1940s with titles such as Zip Comics, Jackpot Comics, Hangman Comics, Shield-Wizard Comics and Pep Comics.[10] This last title was, "before Archie came along in issue #22... home to the first ever patriotic superhero, The Shield."
During "Archie's Silver Age (late 1950s through the 1960s)," the Shield led other characters in the Joe Simon/Jack Kirby title The Double Life of Private Strong, while Simon & Kirby soon added another title - The Adventures of the Fly - which in turn was later joined by The Jaguar. "By the mid-'60s, the superheroes were back in full force" with Mighty Comics Presents and The Mighty Crusaders featuring "all of Archie's superhero characters teaming up for epic adventures." The Mighty Crusaders comprised The Fly, The Shield, Jaguar, Steel Sterling, Captain Flag, The Comet, Fly Girl, Firefly and The Fox.
Many of these characters have subsequently in several instances been licensed to DC. Writer J. Michael Straczynski is overseeing the current effort which carry the logo of Red Circle Comics.
