Ju Ju Watson

Dreamed up by Harry Shorten and Irv Novick and launched in 1940's Shield-Wizard Comics, Ju Ju Watson is a genuine Golden Age artifact from the earliest, most adventurous days of Archie's superhero universe. Sharing pages with heavy-hitters like The Shield and The Wizard, this character orbited some of the most iconic patriotic figures the Golden Age had to offer. With appearances stretching all the way to 2018 — thanks in part to Gwandanaland Comics keeping the legacy alive — Ju Ju Watson's story spans nearly eight decades of comics history. A rare find for Golden Age devotees, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through the early Archie/MLJ catalog so rewarding.
