Indexer Notes
The two reprints of this story list Kathleen Webb as the author. This isn't likely, as it was published a full ten years before she sold her first script to Archie Comics. Frank Doyle credit from the reprint in World of Archie Double Digest (Archie, 2010 series) #84.
They also list Henry Scarpelli as the inker, which is possible but unlikely for this time period.
