Speaking of
Archie and fashion, perhaps the greatest moment in the history of counter-counter-culture comic covers come on the cover of
Josie And The Pussycats #55 (June 1971):
Wow. Did that cover just call out feminism
and fashion
at the same time?!?! Where the hell's the
Pulitzer for that commentary??
Of course, no comics line was
ever more dedicated to portraying young people's fashions to look cool, while simultaneously mocking them. So maybe the hypocrisy in Archie Comics attacking "
women's lib" for hypocrisy when it comes to fashion is a tad to
Ouroborian...
