American Update: Red Circle Sorcery: Archie’s Best-Kept Secret
*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980s: It was just recently that Will provided a definitive guide to Archie’s brief Red Circle horror line (see Red Circle Sorcery: Archie’s Best-Kept Secret) where there are also lots more images, and there’s nothing I can add to comment on that superb and obscure little excursion by Archie from 1973-74, except to say that what Will’s article doesn’t tell you is how much of a bargain these comics are — we have issues #3-11 or Chilling Adventures in Sorcery/Red Circle Sorcery and #95-97 of Madhouse, the companion title, which comprises the entire 12 issue run (we also have #2 of Chilling Adventures which preceded, but is a different animal). All issues can be picked up for between £2 and £9 each, depending on grade; Will did mention how hard these were to track down, but now we’ve got ’em — in spades, with a choice of grades on most issues.
