That issue contains the first appearance (jointly with Josie #1) of Josie (later Josie and the pussycats). CGC was a bit slow before finally noting it on their slabs. From wiki: Josie was introduced approximately simultaneously in Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #23 (Winter 1962-1963), and in her own title.The first issue of She's Josie, cover-dated February (1963), came out in December, 1962 -- at the same time as the issue of Archie's Pals 'n' Gals.

Important Archie to own, imo. (And, no, I'm not trying to sell a copy! ) I like the cover independently of the Josie angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Here's a late DeCarlo Josie and the Pussycats story: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I read somewhere once that Josie was based on his wife of the same name, and the idea for Josie and the Pussycats came from a cat costume she wore on a cruise they took together, if I recall correctly. At the time that he got the go-ahead for the She's Josie title, he and Stan Lee were jointly trying to market a daily comic strip about a postman named...Willie Lumpkin. So Stan folded they character into the FF cast when they abandoned the project. Wish I could find the source, but that's about how the article went.

Monkeyman Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I took a risk and bought this on eBay assuming the marks were mold caused by water damage. I received it yesterday and I'm pretty sure it is mold. I'm going to take it to a framing place near my house that sends things out for cleaning. I had a good experience getting a Decarlo piece deacidified (i.e. detanned). I'll post the results when I get the piece back. If it works I'll be way ahead on price as I paid $375 and these Decarlo Humorama cartoons seem to be selling around $2,000 in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
