From the Pep 22 First appearance of Archie splash :

 

"H'yah, m'names Archie but call me Chick."

 

What is the deal with that? How long was he called Chick? Just imagine if that name had stuck, would he have been as popular a character as he had become?

Steel Sterling.....the man of steel ?

 

But that goes against everything that I was taught about the history of comicbooks.

Let's just say that DC "borrowed" that NOMECLATURE after Zip Comics stopped with issue 47 in the summer of 1944....

 

Don't even get me started with the foe of the Black Hood - the Skull...! Only about 7 months prior to Cap #1...! 893frustrated.gif893frustrated.gif

 

Do you need a splash page of it? lol...
