I do the latter as an Archie fan. Post 'em if you've got 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Legacy I've never checked out, but it's the same guy. The back story behind Fast Willie and supposed strong-arming by Archie Comics is fascinating stuff, from what I've read.

sagii Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Just beginning the annual family vacation today, and promised very minimal to no distractions, but I couldn't resist participating in @Sqeggs thread, and then sign off for rest of the week. My collection is in no way on par with Jon Berks recently sold collection, but like he held onto sentimental value books, if I ever thinned the herd, these will be among the few ones to go after I do . I have better pics in my lap top at home, these are in the iPad and will have to do.

sacentaur Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Recently I took a risk and bought this off ebay, and sure enough it turned out to be the reprint. The original and reprint editions are nearly exactly the same, so it's difficult to tell them apart. On the original, the paper ages normally. On the reprint, they actually colored the paper that way - looking at the blank box on the back cover, the pixels to create a tanning affect are visible under magnification.

There's another way Steve, actually the only way to know for sure, but it's the indica on the back cover. I've got some pics someplace, I'll try and track it down.

For the longest time I took this cover to be the first interracial kiss in comicdom. Unfortunately for that premise, the black guy on the cover becomes the white guy inside the pages. But hey the colorists don't make that kind of mistake by mistake. I think the editors made a bold underground statement. so I stand by my foolish notion.

Weird, though, that they would have him a different race on the cover than in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there also a difference with the staples? I think the original has 3 staples (top, middle, bottom) and the reprint has the normal 2 staples. I could be wrong....
