In "Sprocket Jr.", the mischievous Martian explorers return from Earth with a surprising obsession—Earth females, deemed the most valuable treasure of all. With Bill Kresse handling art, inks, and lettering, and Dan DeCarlo contributing to the cover pencils, this 1966 issue delivers classic Archie-style humor with a sci-fi twist, all wrapped in a playful, retro cover.
