Anyhoo, the first issue of Archie 3000 (1989), saw this at the end of the first tale:
B. Dalton and Waldenbooks have been gone for awhile, and maybe it's just my experience, but I haven't seen anything but the occasional Disney digest at a supermarket check-out in many a year.
Geez, with foresight that bad, it's almost enough to make you doubt the veracity of their projections for Riverdale in the year 3000 [SPOILER ALERT: Flying cars! Food synthesizers! The guys had long hair!!] After all, if they couldn't predict a trend 20 years out, I have doubts they could do it 1000 years out!

When I was a kid (way back during the Roman Empire), the only place I could buy comics was at the supermarket. Was so frustrated whenever the supermarket didn't stock all of the issues with ongoing stories!
I saw some Archie digests at the check-out when I was grocery shopping at Publix last week...
