I remember seeing the cover to Veronica #2 (in Africa) out on eBay some years back, but I can't recall if it was sold. The asked price was in my opinion rather steep (but today I might reconsider). I have been lucky enough to be able to acquire page 2 from that particular issue, though (inks by Hy Eisman): Veronica's hair looks a little longer than usual? I like that Dan bothered to make her wear a hairband with a pattern matching the african environment... Here are two pinup-pages from Cheryl Blossom #16, both from the drawing board of Dan: Conversation with Dan at San Diego Comic Con: Dan: Cheryl is not a nice person. Me: She's kind to her dog! Dan: But besides that she's not supposed to have any redeeming qualities at all! Sweet Cherry Blossom pin-ups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh, this is a beauty, and very close to my favorite period. There is just something about the way DeCarlo drew Betty and Veronica around this time. So good.

Readcomix Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks to Patriot6 for pointing me to this thread Here's a DeCarlo Josie and the Pussycats story I picked up years ago: comicwiz and archiecomicscollector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 AND I should also point out that Patriot6, Cliff R and OdinsSecrets are responsible for this recent purchase....in a recent gold and silver sales thread, I offered one SA issue of B&V, leading immediately to the aforementioned Usual (Archie) Suspects asking if any more were coming....the answer was actually No, but rather than give it, I scoured my boxes and found a few late bronze/early copper Cheryl Blossom appearances, so I offered them. In trying to figure out how much to ask for an Everything's Archie #113, I stumbled across this, half the art from the "Archie the Barbarian" story in that issue. I really wanted page 4, but I figured what the heck. Thanks guys! (I even mean it!) archiecomicscollector and comicwiz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty and Veronica turn Archie the nerd into a guy that hits on every girl he sees on the beach!, Complete stories are always a treat and surprisingly there seems to be quite a few of them around. I count seven by Dan DeCarlo in my own collection (and some more by Bill Galvan & Dan Parent as well) which I may get around to post later. But now I'd like to highlight a few of the commissions I have collected over the years. The modern Archie artists have so far been happy to oblige and realize my somewhat crazy ideas. "Archie Graffiti", a hommage to Mort Drucker by Jeff Shultz with colors by Hedvig Haggman-Sund. "Where were YOU in '62?" Sabrina the Teenage Witch, giving Elvira Halloween off by guest-hosting her show together with Salem by Bill Galvan. Sharry the Spy-Girl from "The Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E."-storyline by Fernando Ruiz. Sabrina the Teenage Witch by Gisèle Lagacé. "Alternate cover" for Archie #649, United Girls Against Jughead by Bill Galvan. Sabrina on broom (inspired by Bewitched & Gil Elvgren) by Jeff Shultz. Riverdale Beach Party (Where are Frankie & Annette?) by Jeff Shultz. Not by an Archie artist, but cool anyway: Interpretation of the cover for Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch #4 (hommage to Dan DeCarlo) by Terry Dodson. I you click on the pictures you will be redirected to the images on CAf where I have described the process from idea to finished commission more in depth. (I may not be able to refrain from posting more commissions in the future.) archiecomicscollector, WayneE and comicwiz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicwiz Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 @Caltex98 I've seen a few of these images in the Archie Comic Fans Facebook group. The second b&w Sabrina page is being used as the banner image. Are you an admin of that page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly lurk in that group, but Adam is following my twitter account and I think he picked up the Sabrina/Elvira image there when I tweeted it on this years halloween. comicwiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneE Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 @Caltex98 All of those commissions are amazing, but I bow down to the awesomeness of the Dodson sketch -- a great idea rendered beautifully.

Caltex98 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 An Archie artist I think sometimes gets overlooked is Rex W. Lindsey. A Kubert School graduate he did more than a hundred issues of Jughead where he was the primary artist working with writer Craig Boldman. I have a soft spot for his very detailed pinup-pages. Here are a few examples: From Sabrina #20. From Jughead #97. From Betty and Veronica Spectacular #17. From Jughead #128. From Betty #54. And last, my personal favorite where Rex admits being inspired by Norman Rockwell: From Betty #27.

Michael Browning Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 My very first through-the-mail art purchase was from Dan Parent way back in the 1990s when he'd run those 3 pages for $25 sales in the classifieds in Comics Buyer's Guide and I was buying covers from him, then, for $50 each. I've still got all those random pages and a friendship with Dan from all those years ago. He even drew me and my wife into the lead story in Veronica 155. (That is officially my first appearance in a cameo in a comic. We later made our full first appearance in the Jonah Hex: No Way Back graphic novel. Both appearances SHOULD be worth a fortune.) archiecomicscollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came all double-matted and lovingly framed, doubtful about archival, but it tugged at my nostalgia heartstrings. My access to comic books was limited, to be generous, as a youth. Harvey and Archie. Still catching up! Best, David S. Albright Congrats for the Betty and Me cover mate. Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
