In recounting the events of his early life, for instance, Goldwater customarily recollected various of his romantic adventures with the fairer sex that paralleled Archie’s life with Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge and therefore seemed to support the claim that Goldwater had been Archie’s creator because he had lived in his youth a similar life from which he took inspiration. Like many who have had a role in the early history of comics and who have survived their contemporaries, Goldwater doubtless exaggerated somewhat his claims to fame. Soon after joining MLJ Magazines, Montana told Hurd, he was approached by Goldwater, who “said they’d like me to try and create a teenage strip.”Īt first blush, it looks like Goldwater was the creative impetus. Montana explains in his interview with Jud Hurd, publisher of Cartoonist PROfiles, in No.6 (May 1970). And it’s Montana, not John Goldwater, who invented Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica and all the rest of the Riverdale gang.Īt Archie Comics, they steadfastly maintain that Archie was the creation of Goldwater, one of the trio that founded the company.
Reproduction is excellent the page size generous enough to show off Montana’s manner. The first-named of these two volumes reprints selected Sunday strips, beginning with the first and concluding with September 24, 1950. We can see Montana’s handiwork in Archie’s Sunday Finest: Classic Newspaper Strips from the 1940s and 1950s (156 10x13-inch pages, color 2012 IDW hardcover, $49.99) and in Archie: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics, 1946-1948 (302 9x11-inch landscape pages, b/w with occasional color 2010 IDW hardcover, $39.99). Bob Montana drew the newspaper strip from the beginning until he died at age 54 on January 4, 1975, of a heart attack while cross-country skiing he is last credited on the daily of March 1, 1975. That’s 80 years for the comic book 65 for the strip. The comic book character debuted in Pep Comics No.22, cover-dated December 1941. And it’s still going-albeit in reruns since June 2012. The daily began Februthe Sunday, later the same year on October 13. THE COMIC BOOK Archie is so durable an American cultural artifact that it is surprising to discover that the newspaper comic strip version is nearly its equal.

His final fate within the Archie comics series remains unknown, though a three-part mini-series put out by Archie comics after the end of their regular comic series seems to indicate he remains a consistent foe to the turtles for many years, briefly restoring Splinter to the form of Hamato Yoshi and also undoing Michaelangelo's mutation, though both later revert to mutant status by the end of the story, while Shredder was left in a vegetative state in the aftermath of his final battle with the Turtles.ġ987 TV series: Shredder | Bebop & Rocksteady | Baxter Stockman | Krang | Rat King | Lord Dregg | Antrax | Tempestra | Barney Stockman | Don Turtelli | General Tragg | Groundchuck & Dirtbag | Wingnut | Krangazoidsġ997 TV series: Foot Clan ( Shredder) | The Rank ( Dragon Lord | Wick | Dr. This version of the character was more in line with the early episodes' depiction of the character as a cunning adversary and in many issues nearly proves to be a lethal enemy, coming close to defeating the turtles on a number of occasions, and even aids Armaggon and Verminator X in the defeat and capture of two of the turtles in the future. Later in the Archie comics, Shredder travels to the future and works with Armaggon and Verminator X to offset the skill and experience of the future versions of the Turtles.
The Archie Comics series uses the same background as the 1987 cartoon, as the first issues are identical. He is the hegemonic leader of the Foot Clan and archenemy of the Turtles and their master Splinter, and is based on the incarnation from the 1980s animated series. Oroku Saki, better known as the Shredder, is the main antagonist of Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures series alongside Krang.
