STORY DETAILS
Title:
Picnic
Characters:
Little Archie Andrews; Little Veronica Lodge; Little Betty Cooper; Granny Sage
Synopsis:
Little Archie, Betty and Veronica go for a picnic in the Hockomock Swamps, near the home of the local hermit, Granny Sage. They discover why Granny never comes out of her house: there's a giant, man-eating turtle living in the swamp.
Characters:
Little Archie Andrews; Mad Doctor Doom; Chester Punkett; Little Jughead Jones; Little Moose Mason; un-named Captain; un-named sailor; un-named driver
Synopsis:
In Mad Doctor Doom's latest plan for world domination, he gets the help of the Ice Mice, a rare group of Arctic mice whose frozen breath can form a wall of ice that's thick enough to stop any bullet. He and Chester bring the mice to Riverdale, and try to use them to steal the Rare Ruby Rooster from the Humble Home Bank. But fate once again intervenes to put Little Archie in Doom's way: when Chester steals a silver fox tail from a bike to spruce up his car, that bike belongs to Little Archie's pal Jughead.

Notes:
The newspaper story about the Rare Ruby Rooster mentions the "outbreak of the Prune Fungus." The nonexistent disease "Prune Fungus" is a recurring gag in Bolling's stories.
Title:
Flight of the Penny Black
Characters:
Little Archie Andrews; Fred Andrews; Little Jughead Jones; Little Moose Mason
Synopsis:
When Fred is looking over his stamp collection, an antique envelope with a rare "Penny Black" stamp is carried out the window by a strong wind. The boys put the envelope on Little Archie's model plane, and the "capricious" spring breeze keeps the plane in the air despite Fred's efforts to get it down.
Notes:
An example of Bolling's mystical side: a slapstick story is given a fantasy twist through captions and images that seem to suggest that the wind has a mind of its own.
Two of Bolling's own hobbies, stamp collecting and model planes, are referred to in this story.
Title:
The Missing Mouse

Synopsis:

Notes:
One of the first examples of Taylor making the kids act more like their teenage counterparts, with Archie being romantically interested in Veronica as in the "big" Archie comics. Taylor told Gary Brown (in Comic Book Artist, March 2004) that this was in response to requests from the editors: "They wanted a love interest like the Archie characters. You know, Betty likes Archie, but he always goes for Veronica. That's what they wanted. I mean, the editor said, I know little boys don't necessarily like little girls, but the readers want that."

Guided navigation is the ability to add and remove keywords and categorizations of items to filter your results. As you add these filters,
they appear in the breadcrumb trail above the search results. You can remove any filter from the breadcrumb trail at any time.
How do I start my search?
Start your search as you've always done. From the home page, catalog home page, or search page, you can select a keyword
and choose a coin type such as "Nickels" or "Barber Half Dollars", and then click "Search". Much of the time, this will be all you need!
How do I narrow my search?
You can add a filter in the left column, such as "Category", "Current Bid Range", "Reserve Status", "Grade Range", and so on. Each time you
make such a selection, the listing of results will become smaller, showing only those items that meet all the criteria you have selected.
You can also enter one or more keywords, such as "The Godfather", if that will help your search. Sometimes a new selection will open up new
sub-selection possibilities; for instance, once you choose to look for a poster graded between Fine and Very Fine, you can then narrow your search to a single grade.
How do I expand my search?
You can add or drop fields or keywords from your results at any time. Above the listing of results is a complete list of the filters you
have selected. Click on any filter to remove it, and the page will refresh to show all items matching the new broader specifications.
I don't see the category (filter) I am looking for in the Guided Navigation?
The guided navigation section only lists things that contain results. For example, if you are looking at all items in grade Near Mint to Mint,
then the category filter will only include categories with items in that grade. To expand your list of categories, remove the grade filter from
your breadcrumb trail by clicking on it.
Using "quotes" around your search phrase can help narrow the results to exactly what you are interested in. A search for plastic man without quotes
will return all results that contain both "plastic" and "man", in any order.
A search for "plastic man" in quotes returns all results with the exact phrase plastic man, in that order.
Try your search first without any search words in the optional search box, then narrow it down.
This will produce more items, and once you see how the items are listed you can narrow your search results
with more accurate search words.
Search ALL or search by Category?
If you're looking for only Golden Age Horror comics, by all means choose "Golden Age Horror" from the drop-down
list. If you're searching for items that span multiple types, choose a more general selection such as "Golden Age".
If you are looking for items that could show up anywhere, choose "All".
Search just auctions, or just private offerings, or both?
The search from our home page searches everything we have to offer. Try that first.
Think of the one search word that best describes the item you are looking for and search for that.
Maybe it's a character (like Dracula), or even a date and artist (1972 Gene Colan).
When using more than one search word, try using "OR" and "NOT".
When you use multiple search words, the search results are trying to find items with ALL of those words in the
description. Try using "OR" and "NOT". If you're interested in all items from 1972 or relating to Dracula, you
can enter "1972 OR Dracula". Or, if you are interested in items relating to but not from 1972, you could enter
"Dracula NOT 1972.
Avoid punctuation marks unless required.
Don't use commas, periods, dashes, etc., unless required - such as in proper name (Spider-Man).
Still Can't Find What You're Looking For?
Perhaps we don't have the item you are looking for now, but chances are we will soon.
Add the particular item(s) you are looking for to our "MyWantlist®" and you'll be notified
as soon as it/they become available. If you would like further assistance, please don't
hesitate to contact us.
