PEP COMICS #39 - On newsstands March 1943
Art by Harry Sahle
Bob Montana had drawn the first 15 of 17 Archie appearances in Pep Comics*, the first Archie appearance on the cover for Pep Comics (#36), and all of Archie #1 and 2. So it must have been quite a surprise to see a mew artist on Pep Comics #39!
(Actually, probably not. Nobody really thought about such things at the time!)

In Harry Sahle's first story, Archie and Betty make a Hitler dummy for throwing baseball's at in order to help the sale of War Bonds. When Jughead decides he'd make a better looking Hitler than the dummy, the inevitable happens!
Yeah... this might not make it past an editor in this day and age...
