Clearly, this book's cover was originally drawn for an early 1940s MLJ book containing an Archie story. The girl,looking so very like the early Veronica, may even have been left untouched, while Archie's face has been changed, and Jughead's face replaced by another, and his body made fatter. The letter "S" on the Jughead figure, typical of that character's regular attire, makes it clear that Green Publishing got hold of the original art of an MLJ front cover drawing or inner page splash panel, (probably from a printer's going-out-of-business warehouse sale), and wanted to disguise this issue to avoid being sued for copyright infringement. I can't remember an early 1940s MLJ issue that contained a story with Archie's gang vacationing at a Western dude ranch. I hope some poster here can inform us of from where that story came, or if it was a drawn, but never issued front cover, or story.

ROLY POLY #12 also has two girls that bear an uncanny resemblance to Betty and Veronica . Both #11 and # 12 have Black Hood stories. #15 has Black Hood taking up the cover. #15 also has 'hero' characters rarely seen before. "Blue Circle' 'the Toreador' 'Steel Fist'. I note these comics were offered by something called 'COMIC CLUB" available by mail. Maybe they were only available by mail? Roly Poly #1 has Steel Sterling' on the cover. Ad on our page #13 features Archie and an MLJ logo. Archie and the gang are also on page #20. Then we have RED RUBE. Since no attempt is made to disguise the fact that the material is MLJ's and the inside front cover states, ' 1944, Published by Burten Magazine Distributing Co. Chicago Ill." I would deduce that MLJ was fully aware of this publishing exploit. Either that or they shut it down quickly. Although it went at least #15 issues til 1946. l .
