Up for sale today is GOLDEN AGE grail.. Archie Comics #1 (Archie, 1942) CBCS VG 4.0. A cultural phenomenon, Archie garnered public attention late in 1941, first appearing in Pep Comics #22, and within a year he had his own title, which is still in print today. Archie and his Riverdale High gang have been a part of America’s youth for four generations now, and during the last 20 years, Archie #1 has seen formidable growth in the market, as collectors realize the historical importance and rarity that this book has come to represent in comicdom, and it’s extremely rare to find an unrestored copy available for sale. CBCS notes “Slightly brittle pages”, but it’s significant that this copy is “natural”, with no restoration whatsoever (unlike most copies you will see). It’s the first Archie solo comic, the first full Archie cover in comics, and the first appearance of Mrs. Bob Montana delivered the classic cover, a story, and interior art for the book that’s currently tied for the #15 spot on Overstreet’s list of the Top 100 Golden Age Comics. CGC census 11/16: 4 in 4.0, 9 higher. I pack very securely and will insure the book for its full value. Any questions feel free to ask!
