Funny thing, liches don't appear in the alignment chart for monsters in 1971's Chainmail:
Nor do they appear in the 1974 OD&D alignment chart:
However, from a 1976 article that Gary wrote for The Strategic Review (ergo, before AD&D came out), liches do appear in this five-fold alignment chart:
Here, liches are equally likely to be Lawful Evil or Lawful Good. It's an interesting take on the whole idea of "liches are intrinsically evil beings."
