Notes | This story suggests that Chuck will become a member of the Archies, but the idea was abandoned in subsequent stories. The art is one of the clearest examples of the new style that inker Jim DeCarlo was bringing to his father's work in the '70s (see http://www.dandecarlo.com/biography/james-jimmy.html for more). This includes more expressive use of light and shadows, and a greater attempt to give a feeling of depth in the drawing. Though the DeCarlos eventually went back to a more cartoony style, at this time they were trying to learn the techniques seen in Marvel and other competitors and bring them to Archie. |
