Laugh Comics #53 — F+ 6.5
October 1952 • Archie Comics • Classic Teen Humor
Pure early-’50s Archie beach-day energy. Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead lounge seaside while Jughead dreams of hamburgers instead of girls — one of the most iconic gag covers from the era. Inside is a packed lineup featuring Archie, Katy Keene, Wilbur, Suzie, and Debby, with fashion pages, puzzles, letters, and all the warm, goofy charm that made Archie a household name. A bright, nostalgic issue that captures the post-war American teen comic boom at its happiest.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes (6.5 / Fine+)
Clean, glossy cover with strong color and very nice eye appeal. Light handling wear along edges and spine with minor corner blunting. A couple of small surface scuffs visible under light. Back cover shows mild toning. Pages are off-white to cream and firmly attached. A sharp, well-presenting copy for the grade.
