Archie Comics #1 (MLJ, 1942) CGC FN+ 6.5 White...
Archie Comics #1 (MLJ, 1942) CGC FN+ 6.5 White pages. What a copy! There are a mere four other copies of this issue that CGC has awarded a higher grade, and the page quality of this one is unsurpassed by even those! First of all, it's a Gerber "7", so finding it in any grade is a feat! A grand total of 53 copies have gotten CGC's blue label Universal Grade to date, and well over half of those graded 3.0 or lower! Most of the familiar characters associated with Archie Andrews had been introduced the prior year in either Pep Comics or Jackpot Comics, but this premiere issue had the first appearance of Mrs. Andrews. Bob Montana provided the classic cover and art. The issue is currently #21 on Overstreet's list of Top 100 Golden Age Comics. Overstreet 2022 FN 6.0 value = $50,750; VF 8.0 value = $101,000. CGC census 3/23: 2 in 6.5, 4 higher. HID09710052018 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
