Bob Montana cvr/art; 1st app. Mrs. Andrews (Winter 1942)Despite an enormous print run, Archie Comics #1 has survived in astonishingly low numbers. 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.. Archie Comics #1 is likely the single most difficult major Golden Age key to obtain after Pep Comics #22 (that being where Archie made his first appearance). One of the most demanded and revered of comic book keys, this book never fails to elicit excitement when copies surface at auction.With the frenzy attending this comic in recent auctions, frugal collectors will be thrilled to see this lower-grade unrestored copy available, a solid blue-chip key, unrestored, and with fine eye appeal, that fits nicely within the budget of a more reserved investment buyer looking for more bang for the buck, a copy sure to appreciate in value over time.
