Archie’s Love Scene

    (Spire, 1973)
™ and ©1973 Archie Enterprises, Inc., published by Fleming H. Revell Company

Another of Al Hartley’s Archie comics produced with a Christian theme, this one focuses on the theme of love. Produced in the early 70s, there is a decidedly hippie angle to the proceedings, especially considering the title. Overall, the comic is smartly produced and as with all Spire Christian Comics (later reissued by New Comics) there is no advertising apart from the house ads promoting other comic book titles, mostly featuring Archie and the gang.
