The long-tenured managing editor of Harvey Publications explains how he single-handedly kept the company from being sold to Marvel (or five other bidders) after publication ceased in 1982, convincing the Harvey family to hold on and reorganize under three of the founders' sons. He reflects on the "Harvey style" — pleasant characters rooted in the Paramount cartoon tradition, Warren Kremer's defining artistic influence — and praises Keith Giffen as a rare true cartoonist while dismissing the dominant Marvel/DC house style as culturally impoverished.
