Reading the books I've got from the first series (1980)... hot damn Moonie is one baaaaaad mother, hahahaha

Voted... now I truly feel integrated into our village.

B&N staggered shipments, but happy to report everything is First Printing. :hehe:

Doom calling Supes an alien badass

Getting a case... of... the GA... munchies !

I swear the early Archie brass must've had a thing for monied brunettes, Betty loses out to Ronnie like 90% of time. Of course this reverses spectacularly in AL ::

And 25 years ago as a kid I used to think I was the only one who loved Moon Knight...

No doubt love it, I've posted there too; let this be the companion multi-purpose thread :hehe:

New thread up in General... unite ! : ) http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9740762#Post9740762

Thought it'd be swell to have a hub for all Archie lovers. Q's on collecting, trivia, technical stuff, opinions... and just plain showing off, all welcome ! To start: Who's your fave character in the Archie universe, besides Archiekins himself? For me, has to be Veronica in the SA books for being generally adorable. Zombie Jughead in MA (Afterlife) for being iconic + gut-wrenching in a poignant way.

Good news from last month... diggin' the pace. Check out @AfterlifeArchie's Tweet: Also, Francavilla FTW on Vulture's 10 Best Covers for 2016. http://www.vulture.com/2016/12/best-comic-book-covers-of-2016.html 10. Afterlife With Archie No. 10, by Francesco Francavilla (Archie) Afterlife with Archie began as a cover, so it’s only appropriate that its covers are regularly among the best in the business. When beloved Italian artist Francesco Francavilla was tasked with drawing a cover for a limited-edition variant of an issue of Life With Archie, he goofily chose to depict a zombie scene and titled it “Afterlife With Archie.” The company opted to turn that silly idea into a deathly serious series about a zombie apocalypse in Riverdale, and one of Francavilla’s best covers arrived this year. In bold silhouette, it depicts Josie and the Pussycats front lady Josie, staring ahead at something — a zombie? prey? the reader? — with blank, sinister eyes. It’s simultaneously pure horror and pure rock and roll. Notice the subtle touch of sprinkling dots of paint throughout the image, suggesting the mystery of an aged photograph or the panic of wanton bloodletting. It’s too bad the Pussycats aren’t real, because this’d be a killer concert poster.

Bingo -- let's see some more covers ! : )

In an interview a couple years back, Francesco Francavilla of Afterlife with Archie fame paid homage to the EC horror titles for being major influences on his work. :hehe: http://www.comicosity.com/interview-francesco-francavilla-lays-out-an-afterlife-with-archie/ What are your favorite instances of confirmed or likely GA influences on later eras? Pics encouraged !

Does anybody have a ballpark idea of what the print run on this Archie variant cover by Francavilla would be? Just 3,011 for the regular issue plus variant... http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2012/2012-10.html

I like my Moderns to boot. But with the right vintage, there are no what-ifs or maybes or uncertainty. And that's damned swell.

Very Classy. +1 My bud and fellow boardie Hal will like this thread

Any time you quote Bill Shakespeare, that's a win.

Just weeks until Riverdale premiere on The CW (also home of Supergirl... and formerly Gossip Girl ) !

literally bustin' up... there is a real poetry to his words, and I only just began reading. "You felt sorry and confused for the villain the Sub Mariner and his love for Sue Storm in the early FF’s, or felt the total evil of Doc Doom and knew in your heart he was the baddest comic book villain of all time."

i think a 5.0. Have to finish inv this week and find it Nice !, then it may actually be obtainable... despite my saving up for a new car for the wifey

Gator, what is the CGC grade/PQ of the Cap #5 Recil that you've got? : )
