Archie Comics #1 is a vital part of pop culture, launching eight decades of Archie Andrews’ solo book. The comic is also notable as a notoriously scarce title despite debuting with an enormous print run. Top-tier Archie collectors know this classic debut is considered one of the "black holes" of the collecting community, with an Archie #1 seldom seen again once it's brought into a collection. This might even be the single most difficult major Golden Age key to obtain after Pep Comics #22 (where Archie and his pals made their first appearances). This book never fails to elicit excitement when copies surface at auction.
_________________________________________________
It's hard to overstate just how scarce this comic is, and just how rabid collectors have become for even the most beaten of copies. This handsome 6.0 example, sturdy and supple, presents this American classic for a new generation of fans. ComicConnect has sold two copies of Pep 22 for astonishing, record-breaking numbers, and we have numerous fans of Archie lined up and ready to take a swing at this treasure as well -- we recommend bidding early and bidding aggressively, as we expect this book to blow past its Overstreet value effortlessly.
Overstreet Guide 2013 FN (6.0) value = $19,000.
