When I was a kid, I remember that the imported English-language Archie comics (without any modifications) used to sell like hotcakes at the local bookstores. But I’m sure some of my Arabic-speaking friends who thoroughly enjoyed the comics would have been more comfortable reading them in their own language. So this is probably a great opportunity for Archie Comics to reach more readers in that region. And, considering that every single woman I knew – including my Mom, my friends, my teachers etc – drove their own car (except myself since I’m a terrible driver), I’m sure Betty wouldn’t have felt out of place there :)
