ARCHIE COMICS #62 and #63
(On Newsstands in March 1953 and May 1953)

The Comic Book Hearings in Congress had not gone well for the industry, and there was some paranoia about what would occur, but Archie Comics was business as usual...

It is believed this is an early Harry Lucey drawn Archie story for Archie Comics.
