Comic book Icon Archie to 'die heroically'

[Flurry]

Long time fans of Archie either may or may not be too happy with this.

Archie Andrews is headed for that big comic book convention in the sky — sort of.

“Life With Archie” #36 hits shops on July 16, and tells how Archie — a plucky teenage comic book hero since 1941 — sacrifices his own life to save a pal.

The “Life With Archie” series has spelled out possible future scenarios for the lovable Archie for several years, and #37 will close out the series.

And Archie — much to the relief of Jughead, Betty and Veronica — remains alive in comics set in the present.

I'm not an Archie fan but it sounds sad. I mean he's been around since 1941 and now he's going to die off.

Yeah, I may just try and get it to see how it happens. But as I understand it. He's only dying in that version of their comic. He's still alive and well in the regular verse.
