143ksk Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Me too. That's the cover to Ginger #1 redrawn to be Betty rather than Ginger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreLauren Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Me too. That's the cover to Ginger #1 redrawn to be Betty rather than Ginger. I know. I have Ginger 1 sitting right here, actually! Just goes to show how interchangeable these Archie girls are.

lotemo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Me too. That's the cover to Ginger #1 redrawn to be Betty rather than Ginger. I know. I have Ginger 1 sitting right here, actually! Just goes to show how interchangeable these Archie girls are. Here's another example of interchangeability. I don't think I posted this before but here is a Betty pinup from Archie #47 and a Katy Keene pinup from Katy Keene #10. I love that the Katy Keene pinup idea is attributed to a reader. Looks like comic book plagiarism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcolt Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I am a big fan of Archie titles from 1960-2000, some of the artwork in the early ones are creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I love the "creepy" crudeness of many of the early issues. I enjoy seeing the evolution of the characters through the decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreLauren Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 It's not really creepy, just realistic. Majority of GA books have similar realistic art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I love how they seemed to push the envelope in the 60's & 70's, they have gone really PG over the past 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 If you want to see "realistic" GA Archie art, you should check out the few B&V stories that Irv Novick drew. He was about 60 years ahead of the "new look" stories. Oh, and here are some books to look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was about 60 years ahead of the "new look" stories. I have both of those books as well! Anyhow, yes, I'm familiar with how the characters evolved over the years very well. When I heard about the "new look" I laughed and thought "Are they going back to the house style of the 40's?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
