#IReadsYou Review: JOSIE ANNUAL SPECTACULAR #1

JOSIE ANNUAL SPECTACULAR, NO. 1
ARCHIE COMIC PUBLICATIONS, INC.

STORY: Dan Parent; Dick Malmgren
PENCILS: Dan Parent; Dan DeCarlo; Frank Doyle
INKS: Bob Smith; Rudy Lapick
COLORS: Glenn Whitmore; Barry Grossman
LETTERS: Jack Morelli; Bill Yoshida
EDITORS: Jamie Lee Rotante; Vincent Lovallo; Stephen Oswald
EiC: Mike Pellerito
COVER: Dan Parent with Rosario “Tito” Peña
VARIANT COVER ARTIST: Dan DeCarlo
32pp, Color, $4.99 U.S. (January 2026); on-sale November 19, 2025

Rating: All-Ages

“Scare Tactics”

In December 1962, Archie Comics introduced the character, Josie Jones, in Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #23 (cover dated: Winter 1962-1963).  Created by Dan DeCarlo, Josie Jones would become “Josie McCoy,” and she would join her friends, Melody and Valerie, in the band, “Josie and the Pussycats.”

Josie Annual Spectacular, No. 1 is an annual one-shot comic book featuring Josie and the Pussycats.  The 2025 release includes one new story and three reprint stories.  The new story features “The Southside Serpents” and is entitled “Scare Tactics”  It is written by Dan Parent; drawn by Parent (pencils) and Bob Smith (inks); colored by Glenn Whitmore; and lettered by the great Jack Morelli.

The South Side Serpents in “Scare Tactics”:
Josie and the Pussycats were supposed to play a gig at the haunted “Eyegore Estates.”  Well, they were supposed to do so, but they have discovered that another band has stolen their gig.  But the thieves – the South Side Serpents – are not a real band.  And why is Alexandra Cabot singing with this fake band? Can Josie, Valerie, and Melody get their gig back?  Also, are there already forces ready to put an end to the entire thing?

THE LOWDOWN:  I have been a fan of the Josie and the Pussycats franchise since I was a small child.  I am crazy about classic Josie comic books that were published from the 1960s to the early 1980s, some of which you, dear readers, can find in the 2021 trade paperback collection, Shes Josie.  I'm also still in love with the two 1970s animated television series based on the Josie comics.

“Scare Tactics” is one of the better five-page “Josie and the Pussycats” stories that I have read in a long time.  Of course, it is written and drawn by the great Archie Comics creator, Dan Parent, who he has mastered the short-short story just as he has mastered longer stories.  Parent manages to squeeze in a nice subplot and a few neat twists in “Scare Tactics,” which made me wish this story was longer.

The rest of this comic book features reprint stories.  One of those is the cute single-page tale, “Hair with Flair.”  Another is the three-part “The Ghost of Dark Valley Manor,” which features art from the team of Dan DeCarlo (pencils) and Rudy Lapick (inks.)

In my reviews of Archie Comics that feature reprinted stories, I always warn readers of my prejudice or preference.  It is this:  I will always recommend classic-style Archie Comics titles.  Josie Annual Spectacular No. 1 (2025) is a cool comic book – from new to old.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of classic-style Archie Comics and of Josie and the Pussycats will definitely want to get a copy of Josie Annual Spectacular No. 1 (2025).

#IReadsYou Review: ARCHIE CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR 2024

ARCHIE CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR (2024)
ARCHIE COMIC PUBLICATIONS, INC.

STORY: Ian Flynn; Ron Cacace; Tom DeFalco
PENCILS: Holly G!; Rex Lindsey; Steven Butler; Pat Kennedy
INKS: Jim Amash; Lily Butler; Bob Smith
COLORS: Glenn Whitmore
LETTERS: Jack Morelli
EDITORS: Jamie Lee Rotante; Vincent Lovallo; Stephen Oswald
EiC: Mike Pellerito
COVER: Dan Parent with Rosario “Tito” Peña
VARIANT COVER ART: Kubert School
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (January 2025; on-sale December 4, 2024)

Rating: All-Ages

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in “Revenge Gifting”

Eternal high school student and teenage boy, Archie Andrews, and his friends made their debut in M.L.J. Magazines' Pep Comics #22 (cover dated: December 1941), and before long, Archie was the publisher's headliner character.  In 1946, the company changed its named to Archie Comic Publications, also known as “Archie Comics.”

Archie Comics frequently publishes holiday themed one-shot comic books featuring Archie's characters (sometimes referred to as “the Archie Gang”).  The latest is the Archie Christmas Spectacular, 2024 edition.  It features one new story and four reprint stories.  The new story is a humorous tale tied to the (very dark) Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series and is entitled, “Revenge Gifting.”  The story is written by Ian Flynn; drawn by Holly G! (pencils) and Jim Amash (inks); colored by Glenn Whitmore; and lettered by the great Jack Morelli.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in “Revenge Gifting”:
Amber Nightstone is the fiercest magical rival of Sabrina Spellman, a.k.a. “Sabrina, the Teenage-Witch.”  Now, Amber is on a mission to get Sabrina... the best Christmas gift ever?!

In her own unique way, Amber has... convinced Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead to help her find a gift for Sabrina.  Why would Amber buy her sworn enemy a gift?  Well, in the spirit of the holidays, Sabrina gave Amber a gift made of real amber.  Not one to appreciate the thought that counts, Amber is determined to outdo Sabrina and give her an even better gift.  But can you get the perfect gift for someone you really haven't taken the time to know?

THE LOWDOWN:  I have been reading comic books, on and off, for decades.  I have sporadically read Archie Comics titles over that time.  For many years now, Archie's marketing department has been sending PDF copies of some of their titles for review.  Archie Christmas Spectacular is the latest.

Even if you have only read Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #1, you know that as a “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” tale, “Revenge Gifting” is really an “Archie & Friends” story, and it is a nice one.  Writer Ian Flynn offers up that perfect kind of holiday comics story that captures the true meaning of Christmas.  The art team of Holly G! and Jim Amash brings out the humor in Amber Nightstone in the wake of her misfortune in the Josie Annual Spectacular, No. 1.  Their art finds the fun in her.

The rest of this issue features reprints of classic-style Archie Christmas and holiday stories.  There are guest appearances by several Archie Comics superheroes, including the “Ralph Hardy” and “Ivette Velez” versions of the Archie Comics' superhero, “The Jaguar.”  The Shield and The Mighty Crusaders also appear.

Dear readers, I will always recommend classic-style Archie Comics, especially when it comes in Christmas packaging – anytime of the year.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of classic-style Archie Comics will want to find a copy of Archie Christmas Spectacular.

B+

Camera Camera Camera is a boys' love/yaoi manga series from mangaka, Kazura Matsumoto.  It was originally serialized from February 2002 to February 2003 in Dear+, the boys' love manga magazine published by Shinsokan, the Japanese publishing company.  Boys' love (or BL) manga is a manga genre that depicts amorous situations between male romantic leads and is typically created for a female audience.  Yaoi manga is a BL subset that features explicit depictions of sex between male characters.  The Camera Camera Camera series is specifically yaoi manga.

Camera Camera Camera focuses on Akira Togawa.  He may be an average high school student, but he is in love with his older stepbrother, Satoru.  Make that was.  A scruffy photographer named Kaoru Nakahara came into Akira’s life when he began work on a campus photography project.  Kaoru fell head over heels in love with Akira, and he wouldn’t take even Akira’s loudest “No!” for an answer, but Akira eventually fell in love with Kaoru, too.

As Camera Camera Camera, Vol. 2 opens, Akira gets a shocking phone call about Satoru, but that’s not his only problem.  Akira also finds himself fighting a diminutive, 16-year-old, male model named Daisuke Kotoko for Kaoru’s attention.  Meanwhile, a mystery woman comes back into Kaoru’s life, and Akira may finally learn why Kaoru doesn’t like to take photographs of people.

THE LOWDOWN:  The drama continues as the Boys’ Love (BL) drama, Camera Camera Camera, moves steadily, but with much commotion, towards its conclusion.  Creator Kazura Matsumoto presents such well-developed characters, and while she doesn’t offer much psychological insight into them, she does connect them through love and obligation.  All that passion, concern, duty and commitment make for tasty conflict, jealousy, and rivalries, but it’s all smooth and entertaining rather than being dark and tiresome.  Matsumoto is an all around good artist, but her stylish facial drawings immediately capture attention.  It is funny; however, that her drawing style made Akira’s face look like the mug Michael Jackson is currently sporting.

Camera Camera Camera quality BL manga.  It is also a Young Adult drama that may appeal to teen BL fans as much, if not more, than older readers.

I READS YOU REVIEW:  Fans of Camera Camera Camera 1 will want to read Camera Camera Camera 2.
