Confusingly, Gold Key then restarted the series with a new #1 issue in 1963. The series only lasted for four issues, and they are far less valuable than the previous series.

Note that the #1 from 1963 is a reissue of the cover art from Four Color #868. (This has caught us out in the past!) The other three Gold Key issues also reuse the earlier cover artwork.
