4. Candy

Buying your first issue of Candy Magazine was like your graduation from Total Girl and your pre-teen life. It was a sign that you had moved on to your next life stage—puberty. Your grown-up girl problems were much more “serious” now, ranging from high school woes to facial acne, to what to wear to a soiree and getting the attention of the Candy Cutie your best friend’s cousin’s friend knew would be there.

3. Disney Princess

You may not remember reading it because you were too young, but you most probably gravitated naturally to it on magazine stands because you found your Disney Princess du jour on the cover.

2. Myx Magazine

Ah, for the Golden Age of local music—when the greatest OPM rock bands released hit after hit and Myx Channel was the only place you could hear them. Myx’s official magazine was then the go-to material for stories and facts about local and foreign bands, the latest about the music scene, and a good portion of chords for kids who wanted to learn the guitar.

1. Archie

Before the rebooted comic, before they killed him off and way before his marriage, Archie was still a high school student of the 80’s or 90’s whose comic digest we purchased from National Bookstore or Filbar’s. You’ve probably lost a couple of friends arguing over who was better for Archie—Betty or Veronica—and whether you could pull off a Jughead without gaining weight.
