Bob Montana cvr/art; 1st app. Mrs. Andrews (Winter 1942) COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 8 (CBI)
Highest Graded


Archie Comics #1 is a vital part of pop culture, launching eight decades of Archie Andrews’ solo book. The comic is also notable as a notoriously scarce title despite debuting with an enormous print run. Top-tier Archie collectors know this classic debut is considered one of the "black holes" of the collecting community, with an Archie #1 seldom seen again once it's brought into a collection. This might even be the single most difficult major Golden Age key to obtain after Pep Comics #22 (where Archie and his pals made their first appearances). This book never fails to elicit excitement when copies surface at auction.
_________________________________________________

With only 73 copies in the CGC Census, this 3.0 copy of Archie Comics #1 retains its original charm. The colors remain vibrant and presents beautifully with a solid construction. This comic is always a popular item at auction in any grade, and we expect bidding to reflect the ongoing support and interest Archie has enjoyed for nearly 85 years. This humble teenage humor book has stood the test of time, surviving the years by constantly changing with the times. From his earliest days as an all-American high school kid in the 1940s, to a hip 60’s mod, all the way up to today, acting as the inspiration for the hit TV show Riverdale, Archie has been an institution for generations of comic book fans.
