I had something in my throat.

When Goldwater started, they started as a magazine publishing company first.

And they decided that they were going to buy old magazines and then they were going to resell them overseas.

And it was going to be a huge deal.

And for three months, it was amazing.

Then World War II happened.

So they had to switch.

And so they switched and they created a superhero comic because superhero comics were happening, were getting popular.

Super popular.

Everything was superhero comics.

Fun fact, most people don't know this, but when Superman became popular, the only person that knew Superman was popular was the accountant.

Because he could go through and see that the book, this is the book that was actually the most popular.

And once he found that out, he immediately left and created Wonder Man.

Actually, there's a whole series of comic covers where you see Archie, the superhero, I forget his name, but I think it was the Guardian, he was a superhero.

He's actually the one, the reason that Captain America has a round shield, because he had a triangle shield and they were too close together, and so they had to give Captain America the round shield.

And then they decided to create Archie, which I think his original name, his nickname was Chip originally, but that's what they were calling him.

And that comic took off.

Like the superhero comic was not nearly as popular.

It's like, it fits a lane.

So soldiers come back from World War II and some of you might be familiar with this, but that was what they were sending in care packages.
