Archie’s 65th Anniversary Bash—FCBD 2006 EDITION

by Dan Parent

“Moving Forward”: When Archie's dad is offered a lucrative job in another state, Archie reflects back on his Little Archie days, and sets off to tell his friends that he'll soon be moving.  Along the way, he reminisces with Sabrina, Josie, “That Wilkin Boy,” and more.  He even runs into Katy Keene and The Veronicas!  Breaking the news to his inner circle of friends — Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Reggie — is toughest of all, but the gang relieves the sting by throwing Archie a mega going-away part at Pop's.  Can Archie really be leaving Riverdale on the eve of Archie Comics’ 65th anniversary?

Finally, in Sea Princess Azuri, we meet Azuri, a mermaid princess and the only royal heir of the Orcans, a race of whale mer-people that live deep within the ocean.  Azuri is betrothed to the leader the Eel people; their marriage was arranged as a means to bring peace to two kingdoms — and thus save the world.  But when she falls in love with Thalo, a royal Orcan guard, her world begins to fall apart.
