American Update: Archie and the gang – over a decade of Vintage Fun with Riverdale’s Favourite Son
*Archie: As a coda to our recent ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ event, we feature the original comic book funny teen – though he doesn’t happen to be a girl! Archie Andrews was introduced in the back of the MLJ title Pep Comics, and proved such a smash that the entire publishing line was renamed in his favour, with our maladroit redheaded hero and his pals n’ gals delighting generations of readers – and now, viewers, in the Riverdale television show! We have just over a decade of vintage Archie comics newly added, from 1950 to the early 1960s, with titles such as Archie Annual, Archie Giant Series, Betty & Veronica, Jughead, Pep, and of course Archie himself newly restocked! A ‘new’ vintage title here is Suzie, a ‘cousin’ series which, while published by Archie, wasn’t directly in the same universe, being more in the ‘funny dumb blonde’ tradition. Not previously in our inventory, we now have several Suzies from #56 to #96. Jughead Annual #5 from 1957 (VG- £50) is one of the rarer items from this selection, but prices and grades can all be found in our online catalogue.
