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.

We are offering a beautiful copy of Archie Comics #1, the first teen comic. Also premiering in this issue is the 1st appearance of Archie's mom.
Archie Comics are as American as apple pie! Everybody has read at least one Archie Comic. Do you remember your first? One of the true American pop culture icons, right up there with Mickey Mouse and Superman, Archie and his gang have been with us since 1941. It's hard to believe he is 70 years old!
Off white to white pages, solid colors, a nice spine and overall great eye appeal, this copy has it all. Tied for 3rd highest in the census with only 17 unrestored copies graded, this book is truly tough to find.
After the record breaking sale of the Pep #22 CGC 5.0 at $50,000 in the last ComicConnect.com Event Auction there is no telling what this book will sell for at the close of this auction. Think about these factors: low print run, high demand, extremely popular amongst comic book collectors as well as pop culture enthusiasts and an affordable price range especially when considering what Action 1 is selling for these days, and you have all the components for a great comic book investment! And hey, it is an Archie #1!
We realize many of you would like to purchase this comic, so ComicConnect.com is offering a 3 month, interest free, time payment plan.
