Indexer Notes

While Little Archie, Peggy and Chic are drawn in the usual Archie comics style, most of the other characters in the story are rendered realistically.

In his interview in Comic Book Artist (March 2004) Bolling explained why the editors asked him to do this comic: "I guess they knew I was pretty good at mystery, so they felt like, 'let's do a couple of books on it.'"
