Pep Comics 41 August 1943. This is the second Archie cover in Pep and the beginning of an uninterrupted series of Archie covers that would span the next 40+ years. Sahle turns in a nice cover this time smile.gif

Pep Comics 42 September 1943 This issue, along with the next issue of Pep and Archie 4, advertises the new Archie radio show--Now appearing on the Blue Network. As you can tell by the condition of this and the following books, Archie and Pep issues from this time period are very hard to find in nice shape.

Pep Comics 44 December 1943. OK, now it gets weird cool.gif I do not know if it was Harry Sahle's idea or if it was an editor's decision, but the next few issues of Pep feature some pretty strange covers... This one is the "Archie as a football" cover.
