  • Archie Comics announces an issue starring the child of one of our readers

    Posted in Free stuff, In the news by Raven Snook on October 26th, 2009 at 1:52 pm

    af139600Not sure if you’ve noticed, but we’ve been offering some pretty great giveaways of late. Today, for example, you can enter to win tickets to Sesame Street Live: When Elmo Grows Up, the Imagination Movers in concert or a $50 Children’s Place gift certificate. Back in the spring, we did what we consider to be the coolest contest so far: In conjunction with the annual Kids Comic Con, we gave the child of one lucky Time Out Kids reader a chance to appear in an Archie comic. An adorable girl named Summer won and, after months of work (the artist, Dan Parent, not only drew her likeness, Alex Simmons the writer made sure to capture her personality as well), the issue is almost here. Archie & Friends #139 Summer Spring Show will hit comic book shops on January 13, 2010. According to the press release, the plot is as follows: “Betty and Veronica babysit Summer. It soon becomes apparent that everyone’s favorite comic book teens are in for a really big show… and they’re the stars! Summer is a ’showbiz kid’ with a flair for the theatrical, and she literally shines the spotlight on Betty and Veronica as she engages them in interactive skits, songs and more.” We admit we’re totally geeking out right now…we may be even more excited about this than Summer.
