Bonds25 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Awesome Archie's LUCY! (and everyone else!) Here are my 2 issues: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 That's a nice copy of Archie #2 Shawn! I've only ever seen one better and unfortunately, it's not my copy I really love the covers to Archie 11 and 13. Thanks for posting them! The Pep 47 is great too. Let's face it, I like them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Nice books. It looks (from the front cover anyway) that CGC was pretty hard on the 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, I like them all That was my copy of Archie #2, until I sold them all in November! I have about 10 golden age MLJ books left, and I'm going to get a couple of thousand dollars worth next month, including the elusive Zip #34 and another Pep #27.

garthgantu Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Great thread!!!!! I too am a huge Samm Schwartz fan - he's my favorite Archie illustrator. Dan DeCarlo may be slightly more synonymous with Archie and the gang, but Schwartz' artwork is a bit more stylized to me... I'll try to dig out some Archies and scan 'em... the most interesting stuff is prettied buried, tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Don't forget Harry Lucey. As far as I'm concerned Lucey and Schwartz are the big 2 silver age Archie artists. I like Decarlo, too, but I just don't think he was quite in their class as an Archie artist. Actually, I think Decarlo's best work was in '50s Marvels (Millie the Model, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) I really like some of the Christmas covers. I'll post some later ones, but here's the first: Edited January 21, 2004 by 143ksk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) It looks kinda like the "cookies" were sampling Archie, too! Edited January 21, 2004 by 143ksk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Extremely surprised to hear that you've sold off virtually all of your MLJ books. How many did you have to start with? I assume the 10 which you have left are either key copies or high grade copies. Must have been a hard decision on your part to sell them off.
