telerites Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Also in the box were some CBMs and these ERB-DOMs and a couple of other early fanzines. Added a few more RBCC pics too. Edited April 16, 2011 by telerites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Very cool fanzines (thumbs u I just picked up this book, which has the first appearance of a character with enough similarities to Archie that I thought I should own it It appeared over a year before Pep 22. Note that he is a student at Riverview High, has a friend named Jughead and a girlfriend named Betty. The last panel of the story looks kinda familiar, too...

MrBedrock Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I always said that Archie Comics would be so much better if they had more vigilante justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Note that he is a student at Riverview High, has a friend named Jughead and a girlfriend named Betty. Interesting stuff. The Betty coincidence is unsurprising, given that popular fictional radio teen athlete Jack Armstong had a girlfriend named Betty, and while the River prefix is not unusual for fictional small towns, and I suppose Jughead was used as a nickname now and then, the number of parallels, including the rich girl/poor girl love triangle would indicate a good chance that the creators of Archie were familiar with this strip, even if the similarities were subconsciously applied.

cheetah Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 And a solid 8.0 from the looks of things. Both staples have a little bit of rust. Otherwise it'd grade much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I always said that Archie Comics would be so much better if they had more vigilante justice Either that or ninjas. Though, come to think of it, how do we know there aren't ninjas and we just can't see them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markseifert Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 GREAT pickups. Tried for a restored pair of these several years back on ebay, what I thought was a pretty strong bid was blown away. Tough books indeed. Really excited about these two pickups. The #2 is a beater, but I've been looking for a copy for a while.
