Archie's Generic Celebrities Month, Day 16: Not Actually Star Trek

Veronica's cousin Marcy is an enthusiastic fangirl. I am sure there are entire threads on internet discussion boards devoted to Marcy not being a "true" fan and how her admiration for a TV show that ultimately teaches tolerance and understanding is a feminist attack on the genre.

I picked this story because it was actually used, virtually verbatim, as a quest storyline in the Archie Riverdale Rescue iOS sim game for the iPhone and iPad, which I've been playing for the past couple months.


I highly recommend it — you can finally give Jughead a girlfriend! — but it's too bad there's no way to credit the creators whose comic book work has been mined for the game. To be fair, when an Archie character is unlocked in the game, you can also access the story in which he/she first appeared — but there's no creator credits.

Also, this story also contains TOGA CHEWBACCA, the one Star Wars action figure variant I've been waiting for all my life.
