Archie-Veronica wedding story line irks collector

By JAMIE STENGLE (AP) – 7 hours ago

DALLAS — When comic book store owner Dave Luebke heard that after 67 years, the carrot-topped everyman of the comic world, Archie, was proposing to va-va-voomy rich girl Veronica instead of girl-next-door Betty, he decided to protest by selling his copy of the series' rare first issue.

Luebke's Archie Comics No. 1 is expected to sell for around $30,000 when Dallas' Heritage Auction Galleries offers it Friday.

"Betty is it. Not Veronica," said Luebke, whose Richmond, Va., store has more than 1 million comics in stock. "This is serious."

And, he said, 99 percent of his customers agree that perky, blond Betty is the clear choice over shiny dark-haired Veronica in the seemingly never-ending love triangle.

2. Betty's going to realize she dodged a bullet.

After an angry divorce three years later, Archie will emerge broke (pre-nup). Egocentric Veronica will be unaffected, but Archie will end up befriending vulnerable women and ripping them off justto feed his meth habit. Meanwhile, realizing what a flake Archie is, Betty will marry Jughead, who will be working on his PhD. by then. Jughead will turn out to be the really interesting guy everyone remembers from parties. He'll never stop disbelieving his luck at snagging Betty and she'll always appreciate how close she came to disaster. Meanwhile, Archie realized the real cause of his anguish and admits to his true feelings. He and Reggie--soul mates united at last--will run away to Greenwich Village.

3. Riverdale HIGH is the name of their school AND Archie's constant state of mind

He's always high and horny. ALWAYS. I can almost hear the "tick, tick, tick" sound under those red curls.

9. I heard Mr. Lodge divorces his wife and marries Betty

As part of the arrangements Veronica gets cut out of the old man's will.
Betty wins!
