Notes: This issue would introduce a standard introduction page that would be used for the next few issues. Archie holds up the sign saying "Archie Proudly Presents" while Betty and Veronica hold up the box with the story titles. The only difference between this issue and later issues is that Jughead appears at the bottom of the page.
Curiously, at the bottom of 'Special Features' has '2504 Comp." listed. The meaning?
