I spotted this at the London Fair today - Adventures of The Jaguar #9 15 Cent Variant:

This is the third Archie 15cv I've found in the wild in the UK now. Considering how scarce they are, that's quite a feat :)

I'd like to raise a glass to Bill who I was talking to the other day, who started this thread all those years ago and who gathered the most information about these books before I cheekily tagged on at the end.

Bill, You can add Jughead 95 to the confirm list

Bill doesn't post here anymore, Iksar. Do you have an image you could share? The list I'm running is based on books that we have an actual image of :wishluck:

Will do👍.

I usually Googled it and someone on some other comic book site will have the the pictures up. They usually call them Canadian variants but that's wrong. I have some stock photos in some files of some of these so maybe I can help if I can understand the missing on the list.

There are 113 possible Archie 15 cent variants in the cover date window and we've accounted for 94 of them since I started posting in the thread. By that I mean that I hold photographic proof of 94 of the issues, in the files you can see in my earlier post. Bill, who started this thread, has seen many of the 'missing' issues but, alas, never kept the evidence! So the point of this exercise is to retrospectively fill the gaps so we have a definitive record of what exists which we can prove with physical evidence.

These are the issues that we need:

  • Archie - 129, 136
  • Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica - 74, 78, 81
  • Archie's Joke Book Magazine - 60, 61, 65, 68
  • Archie's Mad House - 17, 25
  • Archie's Pal Jughead - 83, 93, 94, 95
  • Laugh - 131, 134, 142
  • Pep - 159

19 issues remaining for which we do not have a confirming image.

Only three more Jugheads needed now for the full 15cv set :)

After years of looking I finally found a 15 cent Archie price variant. Pep issue 158 from October 1962. My LCS was also having a 25% off sale as well!
