This piece was originally done as an intro page for the Archie 1 stories being reprinted in the Archie digests. Archie 1 were a series of stories featuring the ancestors of the Riverdale gang back in the Stone Age. Most of them seemed to have been done by one of my all-time favorite Archie artists, the great and often over-looked, Harry Lucey. I did a number of these intro pages for other regular Archie features being reprinted such as She’s Josie (The PRE-Pussycats Josie!) Little Archie, Hot Dog, That Wilkin Boy, Archie’s Weird Mysteries, and a couple more. This one received a second life when Archie re-used it as the cover of one of their ash cans featuring the Archie 1 stories.
I always love drawing dinosaurs and other unusual subjects. The logo on this one was also drawn by me.
