I confess to enjoying the "Archie" comic books as a kid. I knew even then that it wasn't fine art, but it was just the thing for an innocent naif from Westerville, Ohio in the 1960's. Plus, the good girl art of Bob Montana had a certain fascination for me even then. And you know, I still enjoy them; I have a strong nostalgic streak that even these Sunday pages from the 1940's and 1950's (before my time) can scratch. Maybe it appeals to a former life I lived. And most of the gags hold up pretty well; the full-page spread gave Bob Montana room to stretch his humor out a little. The artwork, of course, still appeals too. ( )
