Description
Pep Comics #22 (MLJ, 1941) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white pages. It's the first appearance of Archie, and there's just one CGC-certified copy in higher grade! It's tough to find in any grade, but just try locating another as nice as this copy! CGC has certified a mere 22 Universal copies to date, with just four nicer than VG/FN 5.0! The most recent Universal label we offered less than one year ago was graded FR 1.0 and fetched $43,200! Since 2014, we haven't offered a copy nicer than GD/VG 3.0 until now. The big to-do in Pep Comics #22 is the first appearances of Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, and Jughead Jones -- a truly epic event that seems incongruous from the serious World War II cover by Irv Novick on the outside. From barely being inside Overstreet's Top 100 Golden Age Comics list barely 20 years ago, this key now sits just outside the Top 10! CGC notes, "Olympia Collection." Overstreet 2024 FN 6.0 value = $105,000; VF 8.0 value = $233,500. CGC census 7/25: 2 in 7.0, 1 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
multiple crease left top of back cover
multiple crease right bottom of back cover
spine stress lines cover
crease right top of front cover
crease right bottom of front cover
