Ze-man Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 What a great Christmas book! Terrific gloss on that puppy. I bet it looks even better in person. That Life With Archie cover, is that actually of a serious tone? I admit I dont know much about Archie, but that cover looks almost like an adventure book, with people in real peril. Not your typical Archie cover, is it? Ze- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yes, Life with Archie was the "serious" Archie title with some adventure and peril type stories in it. The only other Archie title from that time period that had similar stories was Little Archie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

143ksk Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 I have somewhere in the 2000 range. I'm about 100 short of having every issue from 1941-1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underthebigw Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 And, finally, the nicest Christmas Stocking #1 I've ever seen I couldn't believe it when you showed me this book at the show. Just beautiful, rich colors. The scan does not do it justice. Great pick-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underthebigw Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hey, where's your (even nicer!) Christmas Stocking? I have a horrible pic of it posted in the events forum. I'm sans scanner, and it doesn't even look like the same book using my camera. Glad you like the glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze-man Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I cannot believe it. I went from collecting SA Marvel, to BA DC Horrorr, then found myself seriously looking at silly books with Rich kids, Friendly Ghosts and Hot Devils, Now I gotta add Archie to the list? WTF, would you stop posting books please. What is happening to me? Whats next? Ze- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 And, finally, the nicest Christmas Stocking #1 I've ever seen That's a beautiful copy! I've never seen one even close to that condition. I'm jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 I don't know why, but it seems to be much harder to find in HG than Archie's Pals n Gals #1 which is also a giant and came out at the same time. There are 3 Pals n Gals #1 in 9.0 or better in the CGC Census and no Christmas Stocking #1s better than 5.5. I'm very glad to have it to upgrade my 2.0 copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
