I am not an Archie Expert and I am not claiming these are all Keys that need to be recognized/acknowledged, nor am I claiming they are 100% accurate, but this is a list that was based on Articles, Posts, Videos, & Auctions originally compiled by my brother (who recently passed) over the years (and I’ve recently added a few).
I am sharing to shed some light in identifying some that may have been overlooked. I’m not here to argue their validity and I apologize in advance for anything that may come across as inappropriate…it is not intended.
Some of the Key & Character Types may be incorrectly Labeled or Categorized…it was all in an effort to simplify.
I realize that some have already been identified by CLZ & Others, but I left them in both as concurrence and completness.
I truly hope this helps in some way.
