I have a copy of Juggy 11, but I didn't realize that the cover was swiped later on for issue 66.  Did they do that often?

They did.  Check out Jughead 1 & Jughead 69, Archie 43 & Laugh 50.  I'm sure there must be many more.

Interesting.  I guess it made sense to recycle gags that current readers weren't likely to have seen.

That is... not an improvement.   :taptaptap:

 

The second one was a December issue.  Betty was probably cold and had to cover up. hm

Betty is less curvy too.  Was that the trend in that time period?.... making them less sexy?

I'm not sure if it was a trend but a number of the repeat covers tend to be less GGA in their style.  This one stayed about the same although Veronica's figure is emphasized a bit less in the repeat.

PEP 79 cover > Laugh 120 cover.

In fact all of the original covers > repeat covers.

I'm pretty sure it was a CCA thing.  You don't see much cleavage in post-code books.

Archie's car didn't get much of an update, though.  And who wears shoes like those to the beach?

B & Vs faces look to be drawn "longer", with longer necks in the updated versions.  I think they are much cuter in the earlier versions.

In this case, the newer version has to be more risque because photobucket deleted the second image from my account and says it doesn't comply with their policy.  I have no idea why.

The image may suddenly reappear. A week or two ago, I had a bunch of scans disappear with the notation that I had move the original images (which I hadn't).  The next day, the scans were all back.  Just PB weirdness, I guess.

I don't have Archie No. 1 - 10 or 50 in my collection (yet!), but I did just recently acquire three unused postcards featuring Archie No. 30, 43 and 50, c. 1986 for my collection :x

Interesting that as far back as 1986, Archie 50 was considered one of the better covers.
