  7. Its really dumb, I used to read Archie back in middle school and it was never censored we were trading/buying it buy the bundle and not a single black marker.

    It was weird, inside they just marked out the bikini and cleavage too, but the words were still there. Archie trying to figure out which girl to take out, as he was chasing another one. Just goes to show you that guys who censor the stuff can’t read.

    Amy, that was teh american version, be funny to see an Arabic version of Archie, he would be called Adel, Veronica would be Sheikha, Betty: Besma, Jughead something weird like Bu Skander. Actually that would be a cool comic. Pops would be Johnny Rockets..
