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 straight edges and corners, clean staples, and stunning color, the finer points of this copy are almost innumerable. This exceptionally rare book has been professionally restored to near mint condition, creating a beautiful cornerstone to any serious collection. This is the highest graded copy of this book!
Overstreet Guide 2015 NM- (9.2) value = $165,000.
