Ever wonder why those Archie collectors love Harry Lucey?

Forsythe, I really enjoy seeing these books in Comics General.

 

Great, great stuff, and as a little lad once said.

 

"More please"

Lucey was my favorite too. of all the artist after Montana, then DeCarlo. I always thought of lucey the same way I thought of Barks. The good artist.

As long as I know someones watching, I got lots more Harry Lucey for you!

You are so right!

 

Here's a couple of pin-up pages!

Wow, looking at all these great covers. Makes me want to dig out my old Archie digests. Does anyone know if Archie ever had an archive/masterworks type of book released?

[Bonds25]

Some awesome covers and interior pages - keep 'em coming!!

There's nothing as comprehensive as an archives edition, but there are the Archie Americana Series books (still in print) as well as The Best of Archie book (out of print but often available on ebay).

I love these threads because I was a religious Archie Digest reader from 1978

until 2004 before I learned from these boards which artists were which. For that

entire 25+ years I was aware of the artists I loved and those I disliked, but I had no

idea which names went with which styles. I now know the artists I loved were Schwartz,

Lucey and DeCarlo.

 

Seeing the posts in this thread, I have to say I most prefer the work of Lucey and

Schwartz from the 1960's and 1970's, but that's probably just my stylistic bias.

 

[Forsythe P Jones]

Great pages 143ksk! Schwartz is very high on my list too Paul_Maul

 

Heres where Archie first meets one of my favorite Archie secondary characters Crickett O'Dell!

So do Lucy Collectors love hairy Archie?

Here's another example from Lucey:

 

 

Much different than the Chuck Clayton we know today

Thanks for the welcome

 

I was really surprised to see Chuck that way, although the story is hilarious.

I saw 2 separate 10(?) inch tall Betty and Veronica dolls in boxes. Think they came out a few years ago. Anyone know how many other Archie characters were part of that set? Sorry, don't even remember the toy company name.
