If I read the numbers correctly....there’s only 15,000 people in America reading Archie on a monthly basis. Figure $2.75 a copy. So the company brings in $41,250 a month. Take out production and shipping ($30,000), and they sustain the publication off $11,250 a month. You can figure the whole staff to be no more than four individuals max.
All this hype....over a publication that barely reaches 15,000 people a year?
You probably have just as many folks reading Chubby Girls Digest, Hot Wheels Collectors Journal, and monthly publication of Amish Cooking Recipes.
I have never observed anyone ever buying an Archie comic, much less anyone claiming it as their favourite title. If someone told me that all this gay garbage has ruined Archie for them, it would be the same thing to me if someone thought the home jewelry shopping network is unwatchable because too many rubies are featured or something.
