The first Little Archie cover where the main illustration is based on a story from the issue (all the previous covers were stand-alone gags in the usual Archie style).
This is the first Little Archie science-fiction story. Sci-fi and fantasy elements would become much more prominent in the title from this point on.
Credits in Archie Double Digest (Archie, 2011 series) #237 list this as Bob Bolling, not Dexter Taylor.
