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.Archie Comics has been a staple for serious collectors for decades now and with the current marketplace firmly focusing on everything Marvel and DC have been putting out on the small and big screens, key Archie comics are still demanding high prices! This very rare copy of Archie Comics 1 in CGC 4.0 Very Good condition is certainly going to attract a lot of attention at auction. With off-white/white pages and some nice colors, finding another copy that hasn't been significantly damaged will be difficult.
Overstreet Guide 2014 VG (4.0) value = $16,000.
