Blue Beetle No. 6 never saw print as a comic. Why Charlton would leave a full comic sitting on the shelf is beyond me. It eventually surfaced in CPL No. 9/10 (aka The Charlton Portfolio), and DC included it in the The Action Heroes Archive 2.
Scan from CPL.
Cleaned-up art.
Trade dress re-created.
Final colour.

Was this cover of yours included in the DC Archive Edition when they reprinted the story?
Heck, no. They just published the black & white version in Action Heroes No. 2 archive.
That’s a shame. You did a hell of a good job.
