When I first saw these, I thought it was just some artwork that an artist had come up with on a whim, but this is an actual comic book one-shot that is coming out October 5th -

The following is an excerpt from the official Archie Comics press release:
Archie. Jughead. Betty & Veronica. Reggie. The Archies. Joey. Tommy. Johnny. Dee Dee. Ramones.
The next must-read crossover from Archie Comics debuts in October as The Archies find themselves stuck in 1970s New York City — and face to face with the Ramones!

The oversized one-shot issue debuts on October 5th from the best-selling creative team of co-writers Alex Segura (ARCHIE MEETS KISS) and Matthew Rosenberg (We Can Never Go Home) with jaw-dropping art by Gisele Lagace (“Occupy Riverdale”) and colorist Shouri and variant covers from Veronica Fish, Francesco Francavilla, and Dan Parent!

No stranger to musical crossover comics, co-writer Alex Segura’s passion for music and comic books made writing ARCHIE MEETS RAMONES a no-brainer, “My comic fandom always ran parallel to an obsession with music, so having the chance to merge them for this project has been amazing. Not only are Matt and Gisele amazing collaborators – they’re wonderful people and friends. This is the project we’ve been waiting years to do, and I hope it makes Archie and Ramones fans happy.”

​“When I was growing up Archie ignited my lifelong love for comics and Ramones are what made me fall in love with punk. As an adult, it’s a dream come true to be able to smash these two things together,” added co-writer Matthew Rosenberg.
As both a musician and comic artist, Gisele Lagace calls getting to draw ARCHIE MEETS RAMONES a dream project come true. “I’m giving this my all, Ramones style, to make sure fans of both Archie and Ramones dig the results.”

Please take a moment in your busy day to wish Chrissie Hynde a very happy 65th birthday,

An Akron, Ohio native, Chrissie is one of the first ladies of Rock and Roll. She co-founded The Pretenders back in 1978, cranking out many hits and memorable albums, both with the band as well as on her own as a solo artist. The Pretenders were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

Chrissie is still active in the music scene, and you can see her touring with Stevie Nicks starting in Phoenix in late October!
