Then is when I decided to take it to Archie to see if they could do it as a comic book. I showed it to Richard Goldwater, and he showed it to his father, and a day or two later I got the OK to do it as a comic book.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Back then, I was doing more of my impression of what a comic is supposed to do.
I came to comic books when I was about 15.
Comic books were just the means for me to tell the story.
When I get some budding young comic who'll come up to me and say, 'What was it like to do it in those days?' I try to be as gracious to him as Stan Laurel was to me.
I was into comic books as a kid.
At the end of the '60s, I was trying to enter the world of comics.
I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it.
I'm in a comic book now. That was cool. That's something that I'm still sorta reeling about, 'cause I read comics as a kid. Someone drew me, and actually did a pretty good job!
Back in the day, I used to read 'Archie,' but I haven't been a comic book aficionado.
I discovered 'The Shield' back around 2010, when the Archie superheroes were licensed to DC Comics. From there, I went back into the archives and discovered this whole universe of characters, and I was hooked.
