dupont2005 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 The amount of work involved running from comic shop to comic shop to root through all their copies of every Image #1 or whatever title I think is going to be hot, buying as many as I can (which is often just one), grading them, listing them, selling them, paying fees, packaging and shipping them, all for a couple bucks. I'd rather just buy one and read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only one I know of dedicated to obsessive money grubbers. Why pee in our coffee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwoogieman Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Picked up the second prints for issues 2 and 3 today. I love that old-school Archie Andrews on the #3 second print! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I just received this artwork for the #6 variant from Andrew Pepoy. It's my first experiment assembling multiple scans to piece the full artwork together. Many of the zombie faces behind Sabrina are Archie characters. A lot of that is covered by the logo on the print issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotemo Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks! I like a lot of the Archie variant covers and I've been trying to find original artwork for some of them. I've finally been able to get a few. The art for the Betty variant of ALWA #1 just sold on ebay recently. I've seen some of the Tim Seeley art posted elsewhere but I haven't seen much for sale.

Jeff Bohn Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I could kick myself when it comes to the Seeley art for Afterlife with Archie. The first cover... was sold on eBay as "Bowtie "R" Tim Seeley Original Art Page" for a benefit for a comic artist before Afterlife with Archie was really a thing. Ended at $25.01. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bowtie-R-Tim-Seeley-Original-Art-Page-Sketch-Gregory-Auction-/310694074741?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item4856cf5975 The other covers (including one that wasn't used)... Tim sold those for a VERY (ridiculously!) cheap price at a convention. The buyer listed them on eBay for a huge markup. Then the auction was pulled.

I seriously would not have guessed that would happen. That would make 2 of us. I think this a really big deal. Archie crosses generations and who doesn't want to see a zombie ? Add the writer of the series to the mix and voila, people are going to take note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion HQ Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Wow! Sounds like Archie is very serious about getting their worlds into movies and/or tv. Very cool. I'd love to see a big event Afterlife tv mini-series. And turn it into a regular series if it's successful enough, a la Battlestar Galactica 10 years ago.

ZaCrew Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 The thing about this too, especially for older generations, is that everybody knows who Archie and his buddies are. It's a part of Americana. There would be lots of innate curiosity about this if it comes to the small screen or big screen. I am excited either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie was one of this built in books we read as kids. Richie Rich was there too but I haven't seen one of those in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
