These posts are all short (<180 words) introductions\/reviews of books in the EL library. They focus on telling you what we think will be interesting for you, a college student and English learner, so use them to help you find the right book for you. You can also use the <\/em><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">tags<em> to find books about topics you might be interested in.]<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">_______<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">There is something special about any popular culture that continues for over 70 years. <i>Archie Comics<\/i> is one such example, and this book contains some of the most popular stories from between the 1940s to the 2010s. One reason that <i>Archie<\/i> has survived for so long is because the story is so timeless: most stories center on a group of middle class teenagers having fun and dealing with growing up. Another reason that <i>Archie<\/i> has survived so long is that the artists keep writing fun stories: sometimes the characters are little children, sometimes they are hunting dinosaurs millions of years ago, sometimes they encounter aliens or superheroes or magic, and sometimes it is a serious drama. <i>Archie<\/i> <i>Comics<\/i> also has many spin-off series, like <i>Sabrina the Teenage Witch<\/i> (about\u2026a teenage witch) and <i>Josie and the Pussycats<\/i> (about a girl band).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">Many of the stories in this collection touch on social issues of their time. In addition, the characters\u2019 personalities, concerns, and even fashion are all connected to the years the stories were written. Of course, the art style has also evolved over the years with different artists and writers. Finally, this book is divided into decades, and the short introductions do a really good job of explaining American culture at that time in history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\">My two cents:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif\"> This is a good book to flip to a random page and start reading. Maybe find a decade you are interested in and start reading there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1559\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/bestofarchie-221x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/bestofarchie-221x300.png 221w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/bestofarchie.png 372w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
