Indexer Notes

Table of Contents mistakenly sources this story to The Adventures of Little Archie #32; it also smushes the 32 and 110 together in the story title, likely because of the short space between them as lettered in the story's splash panel, but the narrative clearly has Little Archie's other identity as "Secret Agent 007 2116 32 110".
