Another Archie clone, from minor company Dearfield Publishing (run by animator Joseph Barbera and Harvey Eisenberg). The most interesting thing (to me) is the uncredited art, which is quite stylised. I wonder if it was by Eisenberg. The company also published some funny animal comics and another "teen" title, Junie Prom (which has art by somebody else).
   By
Although some of the characters' facial expressions look a bit like Eisenberg's work, the inking looks unlike Harvey's, and the basic shapes of the characters are often distorted, not proportional, and off model too often. Eisenberg's inking usually had even inner lines being thicker, whereas, this artist has much thinner lines inside the characters' bodies. Eisenberg's body shapes generally stay on model, and don't vary in almost every panel, and generally keep the body parts the same proportional sizes. Whereas, this artist drew mainly distorted poses, with different proportions in almost every panel. So, I conclude that this is a different artist, who, in my opinion, was not as good at at drawing figures, or backgrounds, for that matter, as Harvey Eisenberg. In addition, this artist's work doesn't look similar to that of any of the other artists Dearfield's publisher, J. Charles Laue hired (Bill Newton, Stan Louis, and Etta Parks).
