*Teen Humour/Funny Girls: Though most series in this category are dismissed as ‘Archie’ imitators – and of course they all wanted to emulate the success of Riverdale’s favourite son – their roots are earlier, in the Andy Hardy and Henry Aldrich movie and radio comedies of the 1930s and 1940s. One other media crossover was A Date With Judy, taken from a series of B-Movies originally starring Jane Powell, which metastised into a long-running radio show, and generated one of the longer-running non-Archie humour comics, lasting from 1948 up until the early 1960s. Several issues of Judy are new to our listings, as well as several Archie-alike titles: Buzzy, Here’s Howie, and Leave It To Binky.
