Archie fans who attend the Saturday, July 20 4PM panel are in for special treat. In the 1940’s, those who joined the MLJ Comics fan club received a 1 1/4″ pinback button and a business card size membership card. They’ll have reproductions of those items for the first 200 fans at the 80th Anniversary of Archie Comics Superheroes panel, along with a 2’x3′ canvas print with art by Jay Piscopo which they will award to either the best cosplayer, or the person who asks the best question.
