bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Those old covers are great, but let's not forget all the new ones that we've seen lately! There seems to be some great things happening in Archie (and some odd things too). I just pulled about 50 covers from the 60's to present and decided to do so around certain "themes" (technology, hippy, etc). Here's one cover that might be a contender with that old Betty & Me for "risque" Edited April 29, 2008 by bergdoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Here are a couple of sweet ones! (I had to post something after that last cover that was more innocent!) And another.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Okay - I better post an "old" one too. This is the issue with Dan DeCarlo's first Archie work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringfinger Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I love that old stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 This one I have to post because: 1) I'm a bit of a Dan Parent fan. 2) I bought the original art for this issue! 3) I also bought the original art for the next halloween cover which is even BETTER!

bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Earlier, someone was asking about Clyde Didit. I'm not sure, but I think they must have been trying to create some sort of "Alfred E. Neuman" thing. Here's a Josie cover referencing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Don't you hate it when someone draws on an old comic!? I mean really. Who would draw a funny mustache on some poor comic character? How about the artist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 My wife *really* likes this one! (I'll be lucky if it's still in one piece when I get home tonight!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Here's a recent infinity cover - I'm not sure how many (if any) others exist for the Archie books??? There's just over 10,000 Archie books out there - so I'm a little "shy" on a complete set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Girls, bikini's, treasure..... All this cover needs is a case of beer and a big screen TV to be perfect Dan Parent - once again proving he is THE artist for Veronica.

bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Okay.... I better post an OLD one. Here's a little Elvis (1st in comics?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Not an Archie, but a fun Homage to the infamous "Beat Off" cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 And let's end this crazy series of posts with a classic "Archie pull" by Mr. DeCarlo.. If anyone has them - check out your back issues of "Life with Archie" - some SUPER nice covers there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Life with Archie #2 - if anyone can post that...... it's "mind-snap" beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 great stuff! I am virtually ignorant of any covers newer than the 70's. In the pink certainly is classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 crazy how they use to change the covers & what not to update them now days they just reprint everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergdoll Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 crazy how they use to change the covers & what not to update them now days they just reprint everything The issues printed today are new material. There are some reprints in the digests,but there is also plenty of new material as well. I've been pleasantly surprised at how fun it is to read the issues and re-acquaint myself with the old gang from my youth. Most modern collectors just don't have exposure to Archie material as many comic shops order low numbers or not at all - pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synch Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Most shops I know just buy the used stuff at garage sales & resell for a buck or two... I duno what they do right now but yea when I was reading em as a kid I came across a lot of reprints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianR Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) I'm just starting to buy Archie comics, mainly for my 2 year old for when she gets older. I had to buy this one for the cover. Love the haunted House theme. Edited April 29, 2008 by BrianR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
