I find the comments here, bashing George Glaider, fairly interesting. I particularly like this nugget:

When Samm Schwartz was first allowed to include credits, he sometimes included a credit on Gladir's stories like: "Story by George Gladir, revised by Samm Schwartz" or "additional dialogue by Samm Schwartz." He stopped including that credit (which is not fair to the writer even if it's true), but if Schwartz re-wrote Gladir's dialogue it would explain why Gladir's Jughead stories are sometimes funny.

Heh.
