Jaffee credited its middling success with a pantomime format that was easy to sell abroad, but his higher-ups were unsatisfied with the strips status: The head of the syndicate, who was a certifiable idiot, said the reason it was not selling better is we gotta put words in it. In 1946, Jaffee returned to civilian life, working for Stan Lee again.įor approximately a year and a half in the late 1940s, Jaffee was editing Timelys humor and teenage comics, including the Patsy Walker line.
