Notes The pilot issue for the series. While less adventure-oriented than the title eventually became, it introduced the idea of doing longer-than-usual Archie stories, and the U.N. trip provided the basis for the many stories where the gang takes a trip to some real location. The issue appears to have been drawn by several different Archie artists. The centerpiece, the U.N. segment, is drawn by Harry Lucey. The issue is divided into the following chapters: "Rise and Shine," "Please Be Seated," "Mummy Knows Best," "Water Boy," "U.N. Antics," "By Hook Or Cook," "And So To Bed."
