In 1956, Bolling created the 'Little Archie' comic, starring younger versions of the classic Archie characters, such as Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and of course Archie himself. He also created a score of new characters, including the villain Mad Doctor Doom. The title even got a couple of spin-offs of its own, such as 'Little Archie in Animal Land' and 'Little Archie Mystery Comics'. He worked on the comic full-time until 1965, drawing both comedy and adventure stories, when his assistant Dexter Taylor took over.
