Disclose Notes: This story is pencilled by a weird combination of artists. Close-ups on the heads of Archie and Veronica in the first five panels match file drawings by Montana seen on the Archie Club pages, while Holmdale's art appears in the background. The rest of the story alternates between Holmdale and Vigoda's art. Previously credited to Vigoda only.
