Bobby Blue CollectionDespite 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 only 72 copies listed on the CGC Census at present, this 2.5 copy of Archie #1 still presents bright colors, and the majority of the wear is relegated to the perimeter of the cover—leaving the iconic characters on this collectible looking perfectly spiffy after all these years. It's a safe bet that when Bobby Blue signed his name on the cover of this copy all those years ago, he never imagined that the beloved comic’s 1942 debut would become one of the most desirable and sought-after titles produced during the Golden Age.
