DescriptionOne of the "lifers" at Archie. Samm Schwartz began in comics in 1942. There was a hiatus and I assume that is when he was in the military and then returned in 1947 to start on Teen comics with the Archie syndicate. He continued creating comics until 1987. Samm was best known for his portrayal of Jughead and that is what he focused on for a great part of his career. Below are some interesting facts gleaned from wikipedia.Schwartz's style is distinguished by his loose, rubbery character poses and skinny, simplified designs. One of his favorite techniques was presenting characters in silhouette: "Whenever in doubt, silhouette," he told editor Victor Gorelick.[3] He also frequently drew without regard for the boundaries of the panels; his characters would stand on the dialogue balloon in the panel below, or their outstretched arms would protrude into the panel beside them. At other times, he would eliminate panel lines altogether and draw the characters in an open white space. Particularly after his return to Archie, he also liked to draw in his own gags or even silent mini-stories in the background. His scenes in the hall of Riverdale High School often feature explosions, pratfalls and other mishaps by characters who aren't directly involved in the story, and Edwards was particularly fond of a gag where Schwartz made it look like Mr. Weatherbee was making a rude gesture at a portrait on his office wall.[3] Schwartz sometimes drew himself into his comics as a background character, particularly on posters asking Riverdale residents to "vote for Samm."
