Archie's Girls B&V #95 Error--- now 50% off.

[bill999]

Here for sale is a copy of Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #95(1963) where Big Ethel( her 4th appearance) was drawn completely wrong inside the book by the artist and the character seen drawn does not even begin to look like her. I am selling this nice VG grade copy for $30.00 with "FREE shipping" inside the USA and to Canada.

do you have pics of the corrected version to compare it too?

[bill999]

The book has no correction versions the errors were printed in all copies of B&V #95.

I can't really address the Big Ethel issue, though I suspect the nature of the character was not yet determined in 1963, but "goom-bye" is not a misspelling but a slang term associated with the beat generation, which would still have had currency in 1963, though I don't know how widely used the expression was at that time.

Thats quite interesting. For comparison of what Big Ethel should look like in general one can check out Archie's Pal Jughead #84,87 and 101 the first 3 appearances of B.E.

"Goom-bye" is indeed 50's slang, and still in use right up into the early 70's in the Michigan area, at least. I'm not sure but what I might've said it myself oncet or twicet.

[bill999]

I can see I was incorrect, for I just noticed that its spelled and used the same way in Archie Giant Series #9(1960) in one of the stories inside that book as well.
