Richie Rich, Archie, Dennis the Menace, Casper, Sugar and Spike, Superman are ones I remember. We would check regularly at the grocery store to see when the new copies would arrive. We shared back and forth with cousins and friends since none of us had enough money to buy them all on our own. I remembered how much we enjoyed them when my grandkids started reading kid graphic novels. Thanks for the memories!!😊
