Hey Susanth,
I totally agree with you about Asterix.Apart from the names as u already mentioned, It's also extensively researched and every piece of info is as accurate as an NCERT History book.
However, Archies is more like the day to day life of teenage people. SO I don't see how we can compare the both. Each are cult in their own aspects

I am not sure if you are aware that Archies comics have been coming since 1940. It has always been changing to reflect the current trend among teenagers. I got hold of the first set. It is just remarkable. The drawings are much better too in those.
In case anyone is intrested in the history of Archie comics, it was started Maurice Coyne
Louis Silberkleit and John Goldwater in 1939. They were having a company called MJ comics, which had super hero comics, that were violent. At that time they realized that people would want something to relieve their stress during the traumatic times of Worl war. So they introduced Archie strips in their super hero comics. Soon Archie became very popular and in 1944, Archie made it to the cover of MLJ comics. In 1946, MLJ comics were re-named Archie comics.
In the initial comics, there was no Veronica, no Weatherbee. Just Archie, Betty and Jughead. I was able to read the comic in which Veronica first visits Riverdale. In another comics, she moves into Riverdale for the first time. There is
also a comic where Weatherbee comes into Riverdale as new principal. More in the next post.......
