The Children’s Tumor Foundation has developed and released three previous comics stories independently, with three more currently in progress. This partnership with Archie will go a long way to changing that, and will help give voice to all NF patients.” “In addition to the health challenges NF patients face in their day-to-day lives, they also find that many people simply have never heard of NF. “We’re incredibly grateful for the support of Archie Comics in our mission to increase knowledge of NF to new audiences, particularly readers of comic books,” said Simon Vukelj, Chief Marketing Officer of the Children’s Tumor Foundation.

“Sounds like Music” was written by veteran comic book writer Alex Simmons whose Archie Comics work has been hailed as both entertaining and educational. To me, this is the stuff that really matters, and we’re proud to be working with the Children’s Tumor Foundation on an important story like this.” “The fact that she’s experiencing hearing loss is only one part of her story. “Grace is a talented and whip-smart teenager,” he said. Archie Comics Editor-in-Chief Mike Pellerito is enthusiastic about bringing this character into the classic Archie Universe. The inclusion of Grace continues Archie’s commitment to introducing diverse and differently-abled characters in its various ongoing comics series. “I was creating a soundtrack for a life I had not yet lived.” Matt was diagnosed in his early college years and eventually lost all hearing due to NF2. “As a long-time music fan, I first learned that I would lose my hearing in college, so I set out to listen to all the music I could so I could keep it deep in my memory,” said Matt Hay, who lives with NF2. Grace’s journey is all too familiar to individuals with this diagnosis, which is most often discovered in the teen to young adult years. Instead, she is eager to hear all the great music she can, while she can.
Spunky and smart, Grace isn’t letting her journey toward hearing loss define her. In “Sounds like Music,” Archie and the gang meet Grace, a young Latina woman who loves music - especially her favorite band, The Archies. The comic is part of the Foundation’s global awareness campaign that launches at the end of April and continues throughout May, which is NF Awareness Month. The disease affects 1 in 25,000 births of all populations equally. This story was in conjunction with the Children’s Tumor Foundation who we have featured before at Broken Frontier here.Īrchie worked with the Children’s Tumor Foundation to create this character in order to shine a light on the many individuals living with NF2, a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves in the body, and which often leads to hearing loss. a character living with neurofibromatosis (NF) or schwannomatosis. I was very lucky and stumbled across a DVD that has 3 episodes on it.Firstly Archie recently introduced Grace Alondra in Archie Comics Jumbo Digest #329.
The psychedelic music videos with floating polka dots, and even the opening and closing credits with the flashing strobe effect in the background really gives this show a sixties feel to it. This show really reflects the era in which it was aired. The animation isn't the greatest in this show, it was somewhat better than "Spiderman", but not as good as "The Flintstones". The one-liner jokes are like a kiddie version of the comedy that was on the show "Laugh-In". No wonder why it was called bubblegum music! The comedy is total late '60s. The songs from this show will stick in your mind. Looking back, it was a cartoon music video! After the song, there would be a one-liner joke, then another storyline. There would be a 10 minute storyline where Archie and the gang would get into some funny situations, then there was the dance of the week, followed by one of their songs. "The Archie Show" has to be the best out of all of the Archie incarnations.

I haven't seen this show since the mid '70s, it just disappeared off of TV by the late '70s.
