And one Archie is worth a thousand Sabrinas and Josies. (Yes, Montana fleshed out the supporting characters very well, but he didn't create the concept of the book anymore than DeCarlo did.) .

For the company to now screw him out of his credit, and instead imply Goldwater created the chaaracters, is despicable.

I had tons of those things. Eventually, I moved on to the superhero stuff, but it started with Archie for me. Archie Comics Digests were my first comics. I had tons of those things.
