Volume 12, Number 9

Vol. 12, No. 9
September 2001
whole number 141
2001 pages 067-074

Longtime Archie Comics artist Joe Edwards covers this issue with a nice pencil sketch of the company's title character along with the Edwards creation Li'l Jinx.  

Edwards provides a short letter about the early days at Archie as part of a long Under The Gun column.

The heart of this issue is a look at Kanigher's "Savage World" concept with editor Joe Kubert from the 1970s, an unpublished series about two naturalists who roam the world, framing stories about the various creatures they encounter (or encounter evidence of). 

Doug Wildey drew at least two issues, and this newsletter presents the Kanigher scripts for two pages of a story about elephants, along with Wildey's almost finished pages. Great stuff.

Additional letters by John Wells, Carol Newman, Marc McMurray, Daniel Tesmoingt, Jim Amash
