Archies Life with Archie album covers.jpg

The Archies first appeared in the April 1967 issue of Life with Archie #60 comic book.

One of the first, and one that most blurred the line between real and fake after The Monkees. Well, except for them being animated, I guess. Cough. The Monkees/Archies connection? Don Kirshner! The man who masterminded the Monkees only to have control wrested from him by the group, realized animated characters can't talk back.

Lineup:

  • Archibald "Archie" Andrews is the band's leader and plays guitar and sings
  • "Jughead" Jones plays drums
  • Reginald "Reggie" Mantle plays guitar
  • Veronica Lodge and Elizabeth "Betty" Cooper play keyboards and tambourine

The lead vocals of the band were really done by Ron Dante.
