Parody of the movie King Kong, including the battle between King Koala and a dinosaur and also the koala taking Veronica and climbing a skyscraper.
Clark Kent is seen walking away from a phone booth as Archie approaches.

No colorist is credited on the story. Presumably, original colorist Barry Grossman's colors could not be reproduced.
The credits page (inside front cover) lists Glen Whitmore and Dan Parent as the colorists for this issue. So one of them probably colored this reprint.
