The Company that
would one day be called Archie Comics
Started out as MLJ
Comics. They were a full line comic publisher. War, Teen Romance, Fantasy,
Science Fiction and of course Super Heroes.
The Shield was the
first Patriotic Super Hero. The Hangman and Comet were the First Brothers
who were Super Heroes.
