The Consumer

In the case of superheroes, even the goofy variants Archie handed to the characters to match the campy Batman craze, the color scheme of the uniforms is of the utmost import. Or, maybe it isn't -- Betty's 'Superteen' non get up (the boys get tights and long underwear -- more on Jughead later) has blue and red but decades later they decided they better make it all red. Uniformity with anything else from this sub series they reprint -- she does have a costume.

With a name like 'The Consumer' I assume we get some hazy political commentary out of it. But no. Not unless this counts:

Yeah. Rachel Carson hated DDT too. As did the bald eagle and the duck hawk -- two creatures the banning of the chemical resulted in a species population comeback.

Update: caption change previously left unnoticed.
