[@Spikenector]

excited for the Archie Facsimile editions this year!!!

[@Renegaderantscomics]

@@Spikenector when are they releasing?

[@texaspatriot4215]

Not bad at all, gives us a chance to own books most of us cant afford, im all for them, i love the original ads as well, the Archie books are great because they have the absolute original cover including the price, on my issue of Betty and Me its a 12¢ cover.

[@Renegaderantscomics]

@texaspatriot4215 that's awesome. Ones I've been picking up the price is modern unfortunately.

At least in my case, as a 30s guy, Facsimiles are the closest I have to tasting old comics as they were published. I'm so proud to have Batman's very first appearance, with the older strips and ads included, even if my copy of DETECTIVE COMICS 27 (the first edition from 2022) has the same size of a current comic book. Not only do I have more Batman facsimiles than any other character, but also other crucial comics, like THE FLASH 123 and GIANT SIZE X-MEN.

@@MutantsInDisguise cheap way to complete certain runs. Or have at least key issues.

[@Pope-of-Comics]

I am going for the House Of Secrets (!st Swamp Thing) Facsimile that's coming up. It's definitely better than nothing

@Pope-of-Comics I had no idea Louise simonson was the model but on my list
