First on the list is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY. This will take place on Saturday, July 3, 2004. Participating comic book shops across North America and around the world are giving away comics produced just for this special day. “I Was A Teenage Comic Book Character’ is the title of the story for Archie's free comic. In this story Archie and Jughead visit the local comic shop, where they meet up with their pal, Chuck Clayton, an aspiring comic book artist. == Chuck is discussing some comic book ideas with the [tet shopkeeper. The shopkeeper offers to help finance the ~ Yous. printing of a comic that Chuck creates and sell it in the ea store. Archie overhears this and wants in on the act. He will write and Chuck will draw. However, when Archie finally sits down to start writing, he’s stuck for an idea. Chuck agrees that it's tough. Plus, what kind of comic do they want to do? There are all different types to choose from. - Superhero, Manga fantasy: Scene: fiction, monster, the list goes on. at FREE COMIC BOOK DAY they finally decide on oe surprise baa Le ed eth you. Stop into your local comic shop eee eer eee on July 3 and get your free comic. The next big event is taking place tight now at the BRONX ZOO in New York City. It seems that four grizzly bears have been named after Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead. These bears are as popular with Zoo visitors as their namesakes are in Archie comics. After seeing these grizzly bears and the fact that they actually act like Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead, I’m thinking, why not send the Archie gang to the Zoo? In ARCHIE #550 Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead are off to New York and the Bronx Zoo. In fact, if you live, or are visiting in the New York City area, put a note on your calendar to visit the Bronx Zoo on Saturday and Sunday, July 10 and 11. Not only will you have an opportunity to see the “Archie grizzly bears” but you get to see me along with some Archie artists, who will be giving autographs and drawing sketches of the Archie characters. There will be free. comics and prizes. It should be a great weekend. Hope to see you there. Write your letters to: Victor Gorelick, Editor, Archie Comic Publications, Inc., P. Mamaroneck, NY 10543-0419. vicg@archiecomics.comWHY? WHY, BETTY COOPER... YOU MEAN CAMPING OUT?
