Archie in "Archie's New Girl" (Hostess Ads #122)
On a site dedicated to making a wiki history of all things comics, comics ads should not be forgotten. Especially the ads for Hostess Fruit Pies, Twinkies, and other snacks. Starting in 1975, Marvel and DC heroes (and the Archie and Harvey characters!) spent seven years throwing Hostess snacks at a bizarre line of villains to stop their crimes. Although many of the villains were completely silly, they were created specifically for these ads, and in many cases, not even the names have been used again, since the ads stopped in mid-1982. |
So I thought I'd show an ad here, and make a list of the comics I find it in, as I run across them. This time it's: Archie in "Archie's New Girl". There are no notes on the Hostess Superhero Advertisements page. In this one, new girl Gwen is close to sweeping Archie off of his feet, so Jughead intervenes. Alerting Veronica, she wins Archie back with a full compliment of Hostess Fruit Pies.
There's really not too much else to say here. The Archie ads are pretty straight-forward, hawking Hostess for all they're worth. More fun for us though.
