Ever wonder why those Archie collectors love Harry Lucey?

I'm not the best judge of which artist did which cover but I think these are all Lucey. If I'm mistaken, they're still worth seeing again, just to keep this thread alive.

I believe you are correct on all three

So, in addition to this classic gem, which I received this week:

 

 

These unread, super-high gloss Lucey classics come in today. First the wrapper--apparently part of a roller-skating promotion.

 

 

Now, the books. Not super-HG, but beautiful and way above average for the time period.

 

 

 

For me laugh 97 is the hottest cover Lucey did

What a great thread. Enjoyed it twice now!

In the last Comic Link auction, I saw the price for an entire Archie story drawn by Harry Lucey. I thought it would have been cool to own one as I was impressed at the simplicity of design but the conveyance of character within each panel. It was like reading an animated cartoon.

 

While it may have been a mistake to pick up the art, I was pleased to see a boardie pick it up and show it off. It is something I will pay more attention to in future auctions.

Well deserved bump Bronty.

Always happy when this thread gets revived.

Wow - knee-length skirts were "short."

 

Different times... but I am not complaining, growing up in the era of the mini-skirt. Then the mini-skirt. Then the freakin' mini mini-skirt!
