Notes: This issue represents a stylistic experiment, with unusual art choices and page layouts, and a tone of nostalgia for high school that suggests the title was trying to aim for an older audience. This tone would surface in a few other stories in the title, though it eventually shifted to more of an adventure/mystery style inspired by "Life With Archie."
