Key Archie Covers?

[miraclemet]

What are considered the "key" or "iconic" Archie covers?

 

I'm mostly thinking in terms of the key GGA type covers (those seem to see the most market interest, I wonder why )

 

I've found an "Archie #1 club" thread, and some other Archie talk, but I was looking for a thread that hilighted the best of the GGA Archie Family covers....

Obviously at the top is:

And a runner up would be...

 

[Primetime]

This one is slightly under the radar still I believe.

I think Betty borrowed that girls white sweater for issue #50.

Very nice additions... please keep 'em coming.

 

Here's the other one I was thinking of, some GGA love, but more in the "innuendo" vibe... which also was a high point of the Archie books.

I have always considered the love triangle covers iconic

 

 

[Crimebuster]

The classic Three on a Soda cover. Redone several times over the years.

 

 

 

 

Maybe a more famous version:

 

[Crimebuster]

I don't think any of them have broken out really, so I can't say they are "key," but many of the early Jughead covers feature Sexy Betty trying to get Jughead to give her some action.

 

This is my favorite of them (which was also homaged later in the series):

Crossover appeal:
