Of the three Archie firsts, B&V is by far the most sought after, then Jughead. Reggie is pretty dead.

And the most sought after '50s Archie

 

 

 

It really is a great cover although I love this one:

 

Archies_Girls_Betty_and_Veronica_40_zps2d7b6a94.jpg

 

 

I think this one is a little underappreciated.

I would have to agree! :applause:

 

Arf! Arf!

Poor ol' Reggie. Was there ever a more unlikeable character to get his own series?

I'm looking for a copy of Laugh #24, but not because of Ol' Chick.

(Kirby story)

I'm also always hoping to find a classic DeCarlo cover, like Jetta or Showgirls.

Jetta is awesome, and real hard to find in any grade.

Wow. I've never seen this before, but it's pretty hard not to conclude that this influenced the Jetsons and Jane Jetson in particular. Googling, I see a few other people have wondered, though nothing definitive.

yeah, the connection to the Jetsons seems clear. Not so surprising you've not seen them. They're real scarce. So cool.
