Favorite Archie Covers

I always liked the cover of Katy Keene #1 but I was never able to get a nice copy of it. It also has a Woggon drawn appearance of Archie and the gang inside congratulating Katy on her new magazine.

 

The best copy I managed to get was this severely moisture warped copy that had otherwise decent paper quality. After sending it to Matt Nelson, it went from this:

to this:

A lot of collectors may not like pressing but I like that it salvaged an otherwise hopeless looking book.

 

I'll just have to live with the bug chew.

A couple of Archie 35 cent price variants with nice covers. :D

I find these Archie 35 cent price variants out there as difficult to find today as the Archie 15 cent test market price variants.

I'm going to hunt for these books now too. I never knew about them.

I bought this because it's a UK copy but it turned out to be better than my US so it's an upgrade also:

This is something of an upgrade as well. I don't know what it is about late 1950's Archie's and water stains but it seems common. Water stains aside, it's very clean, flat, and glossy.
