MUMBAI: Archie has got a hiring agent that will make his passage to the Hollywood and TV world easier. In what could be the golden goose run for comics, 70-year-old Archie Comics has signed up talent agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA).

The timing could be just perfect for Archie who recently proposed to rich girl Veronica, setting aside next door girl Betty. Hollywood‘s appetite to convert comics into movies seems to have grown, evident from Disney‘s recent announcement to gobble up Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion.

The deal will go beyond Archie‘s companions like Jughead. Archie Comics also has properties like Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Josie and the Pussycats.
Hollywood studios are keen to extend comic brands into film properties as they target teen and college age male demographics.
