Reviews
Whether you re interested in the differences between Harry Lucey s Archie and Bob Montana s, or simply haunted by the signifying structure that is Betty Cooper s ponytail, there s something here for everyone who s ever read an <i>Archie</i> comic. --Scott Bukatman author of The Poetics of Slumberland: Animated Spirits and the Animated Spirit
Funny, insightful, and perfectly paced, this is a highly enjoyable volume of criticism, one that would be equally at home in the ivory tower or by the porcelain throne. --Quill and Quire exciting and often deeply funny --Neale Barnholden English Studies in Canada Fascinating --New York Magazine In its analytical vignettes on such a wide variety of topics, Twelve-Cent Archie attempts - and succeeds - not in ending our questions about Archie, but in showing us how many more questions we ought to be asking. --Children's Literature Association Quarterly For readers interested in the history and form of comics as art, Beaty offers analyses of visual humour, borderless panels and the central authors and illustrators of this era. Twelve-Cent Archie will satisfy cultural critics, Archie fans and comics fans more broadly ... This book is as fun and satisfying as reading an Archie digest. --Alberta Views Whether you're interested in the differences between Harry Lucey's Archie and Bob Montana's, or simply haunted by the signifying structure that is Betty Cooper's ponytail, there's something here for everyone who's ever read an Archie comic. --Scott Bukatman author of The Poetics of Slumberland: Animated Spirits and the Animated Spirit Archie gets, at last, academic and theoretical consideration in Bart Beaty's wildly readable Twelve-Cent Archie. --PopMatters
