Betty or Veronica?

August 28th, 2010 in Cartoons, Industrials, Teens by lpcoverlover | 4 Comments

An audio comic book/musical from Archie Comics on Tifton Records with book, music and lyrics by Bean Clayton and Raol Alland   “Idol-ness in Riverdale” (no date on the record – early 70’s?)   The Archie look that I grew up with in the sixties and seventies was the work of pin-up and glamour girl illustrator Dan DeCarlo whose previous cartoons were most seen in the “adult” men’s digests of the Forties and Fifties (with titles like “Humorama”, “Gee-whiz”, “Eyeful of Fun” and “Romp” to name a few).     He toned down his sexy drawings to make the Riverdale teens suitable for young readers, but I’m sure that Betty and Veronica couldn’t help but spark many tween libidos – and Josie and the Pussycats – forget about it.

    Sorry, but there’s no way that art is by Dan DeCarlo. It looks like the hackwork of an anonymous illustrator poorly aping DeCarlo.

    I agree! DeCarlo set the guide for illustrators to follow later on and this doesn’t look like the drawings on the 10 cent comics that I collected in the sixties. This might have been more akin to the look of the characters as seen in the TV show? Thanks for the note.

    This was released in 1966 by Peter Pan Records (Tifton was one of its many subsidiaries).
