The Ramones Will Star in an Archie Comic

The Ramones Will Star in an Archie Comic

If you’re trying to find something more All-American than the RamonesArchie comic books would make the short list. Now, the two are set to meet. Next year, Archie Comics will publish “Archie Meets Ramones”, in which the hip teens of Riverdale meet the legendary NYC punk rockers. That’s the cover above, as Comics Alliance points out (via Brooklyn Vegan). 

Co-writer Matthew Rosenberg told Comics Alliance :

It might seem strange to some people to combine these things, but there’s really no divide for me… Archie is what got me into comics, the Ramones are what got me into punk rock, and those two things have always been connected for me. The Ramones are my punk rock heroes, they’re really very comic booky, and Archie has a long history of being connected to music, and being willing to try new things and do cool new stuff, so to me, this makes perfect sense.
