AND THE AWARD FOR THE DAFTEST SPEECH BALLOON ON A COMIC'S COVER GOES TO...


Copyright relevant owner

"Kill her!  Kill Red Sonja!"  "Over my dead body!"  Er, that's right - that's exactly what it would be, girlie - what a daft thing to say.  Someone got paid for writing that?  Strewth!  What's the daftest thing you've ever read on a comic's cover, Crivvies - can you remember?

    The only one that comes to mind is that infamous Betty and Me cover in which Archie threatens to "beat off" three guys who are pestering Betty. It somehow doesn't say what I think it's meant to say.

    The Archie editor must've been asleep on the day that was passed, RJ. At least it provides a laugh though. What Sonja says is just stupid, which is essentially "I'd have to be dead before you can kill me!" Eh?

    There were some amazing Archie comic faux pas over the years , some just ghost ad to be e been meant. I have the comic Rip mentions (Betty and Me issue 16) .

    Some probably were, as it would be assumed they'd go above kids heads, McS.
