Little Archie by Samm Schwartz


Readers of Jughead will probably recognize Schwartz's art right away. He was the main artist on that title well into the 1970s.

While I still think of Bob Montana as the iconic Archie artist, the three-headed monster of Schwartz, Harry Lucey and Dan DeCarlo made the regular Archie titles some of the best-looking humor comics of the 50s and 60s.

Schwartz did a lot of artwork in the Little Archie books as well; I don't know if he wrote any of these stories, but the amount of pages he turned out would suggest he worked with scripters for most, if not all, of his stories.
