    Pep Comics #1 is from 1940 and features the first patriotic superhero (the Shield). Archie first appeared in #22 (1941) and made his first appearance on the cover in #36 (see the favorite Archie covers thread in the comics general section). The last superhero issue was #65 with nothing but Archie and the gang stories thereafter (at least until a brief superhero revival in the '60s). Pep had some truly great WWII covers with #20, 27 and 34 being the standouts IMO. Number 34 is pictured in the Archie covers thread even though Archie does not appear on the cover--it's that cool!! Archie Comics is a separate title that began with #1 in 1942 (also pictured in the Archie covers thread). Hope this helps.

    Today's cover: Betty may be dangerous, but we all know who calls the shots with Archie!

    Nice book rjpb. I have always liked squid/octopus covers. Don't ask me why... There are actually quite a few out there so they must have held some interest for the artists as well.

    That cover for Archie 39 has always reminded me of this one:

    A very interesting concept. I'm sure Dr. Wertham would have had a field day with it!

    I think that cover is by Harry Lucey, but I could be wrong. Here's a cover for the Veronica worshippers out there (Betty's still my favorite, though):

    Nice book! I think Heritage had the original of that cover in one of their auctions about a year and a half ago. It had an Archie header rather than the Laugh, but it's the same art.
