Lick It Up, Riverdale!!

So, a nifty little paperback chock full of Archie stories has come out recently:

Not quite full trade size, but bigger than a digest, there's 400 pages of classic Archies from the past 70 years, for only $9.99. Click here to snag it on Amazon.

But the real point of this post? Well, when you want to sell a book, you've gotta have blurbs. Even Steven King's gotta have blurbs.

So whom do the Archie folks get? Well, they get a quote from Stan, which is both inevitable and appropriate.

But they need one more endorsement! Whom can they get who will sell Archie books?

Scanned right from the back cover:

Really? Gene Simmons?? His quote is the one that's going to help you sell copies of Archie??

Reminder: Gene Simmons is the man who put out this...

...and you wanted his seal of approval on Archie Andrews??? And you thought it would increase sales?

It is indeed a strange world...
