Mr. Mike Britt recently directed me to some interesting finds on comicbookplus, and one of them was the second appearance of Archie, in Jackpot Comics #4. That got me curious about Archie's first appearance, so I looked up this issue of Pep Comics #22, from December 1941. Gotta say, I like Bob Montana's vision of the character, who seems to be inspired by Li'l Abner, way better than the bland stuff that followed.
Fun, but I like the Archie that came later. I see the name Chick didn't even last through the entire story, for which I'm glad. And I think he looks like Alfred E. Newman.
