Spotted this today. June, 1960. I'm not really into Archies, just curious about how many/few pence covers they did. Doesn't look like much so far. Everything I've seen dated 1961 or later seems to have a T&P stamp. Looks like an experiment, a bit like the DC pence output for July, 1971.

Sometimes a light at the end of the tunnel is just some b*****d with a torch bringing you more work.

Found another Archie... The Fly above was released in May, 1960. Archie's Joke Book 47 was July, 1960. Don't know if that's indicative of anything yet.

Cheers Redshade. I've seen some Dell as well; a few with just pence & a few with pence and cents. Also some Gold Key & a ton of Charlton. Marwood deserves serious credit. I'm using his lists to compile my own Excel charts for each publisher, listing price changes by issue number. It's a PITA & I'm only doing about a third of the work because Marwood has already done the hard stuff. Maybe a miscellaneous pence thread would be an idea. Just to catch all of the oddments. Anyway... Getting back on topic. Four of my favourites. These are a good example of the whole black plate swap out idea. Printed at the same time as the 30 cents copies, and, in the case of #s 2, 3 & 4, at the same time as the 35 cent price experiment copies. So, two slug changes.

Greetings All, Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I know it's a little off topic, but only a little... Anyone ever seen an Archie pence cover? I hadn't until this morning. Spotted it on E-bay. It's a dog, really, but I've never seen an Archie pence cover. Didn't know they did any. Marwood? Will there be an Archie page on your list of other publishers with pence variants? Don't mean to add to your workload (Sterling job so far, BTW).
