Kentucky 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.This is one-of-two, second-highest graded copies of Archie #1 recorded on the CGC census, a comic that is one of a small handful of titles that can compete with the big boys over at Marvel and DC. The remarkable longevity enjoyed by Archie and his pals has carved out their own niche in the industry, with an instantly recognizable graphic style and character design all their own, the Archie house style is a brand unto itself, and that brand has been expanding of late. There are just under seventy copies on the census, which should make it abundantly clear that this book is not only historically important, extremely valuable, but also exceedingly hard to find anywhere. There are a great many awesome and valuable comics in this Event Auction, but this special book will make a serious bid for top billing amongst the heavy hitters.
Overstreet Guide 2020 VF (8.0) value = $90,300.
